Continuing my trawl through British related comics and related products during the lock-down comes the latest issue of Spaceship Away. I actually do have the first two issues of this which I picked up at my local comic shop but haven't seen a copy in long while. This is dedicated to Dan Dare plus a few other space heroes of the British science-fiction scene.
The main colour story is of course Dan Dare in Voyage of the Ankum all done Eagle cover style and in colour. This is a new story so a great jumping on issue. There is also a text feature on Captain Condor which was an attempt to compete with Dare by The Lion. When the crisis is lifted a little I may have to pick up some fifties Lions to see these (and other strips) first hand.
Also inside is a Jeff Hawke story something I'm not familiar with but will explore at a later date. It's from the Daily Express apparently This is a full colour story set on the moon. And there be aliens....
The only continuing story in this issue in the conclusion of The Golden Amazon but there is also another all new adventure Target Earth, a fine looking retro-production that will entertain.
Also included is a booklet with the first two chapters of Caesar Smith by Conrad Frost.
Overall an interesting package.
