Dear Compal Customers,

In our last auction in March Dan Dare and Eagle powered into the stratosphere with £555 for The Eagle Club letter and Membership Card, £565 for Dan’s interplanetary figures boxed set by Crescent Toys and £390 for the Horlicks Eagle Rocket Cup and badge.

In our latest catalogue we highlight the second part of this collection with a Frank Hampson Dan Dare artwork, one of his earliest boards at lot 67, and high grade bound volumes of Eagle from 1951-1959. There’s a super Super-sonic Space Pilot Gun, brilliantly boxed, a rare Dan Dare bust – one of only twenty cast, and an affordable double-page artwork from 1987 featuring the Mekon and Dan in battle at London’s Natural History Museum. There’s further original art of Beryl The Peril by Davy Law, The Trigan Empire by Don Lawrence, Grendel by Ron Embleton, Oor Wullie by Dudley Watkins and a six board complete Bionic Woman story by John Bolton.

Our rare British comics selection comprises The Dick Turpin/Spring-Heeled Jack Library from 1902, The Beano Comic No 1, The Beano Book No 1 and The Magic-Beano Book 1947 in [fn] grade. There are Beano and Dandy bound volumes from 1949 and 1950, Lion 1-45, Misty 1-23, Poppet 1-41 complete, Rocket 1-32 and Tiger No 1 with free gift Space Gun and 6 press-out Flying Saucers, all in their original bag.
