There are several books about
EAGLE, but only two about Dan Dare's creator Frank Hampson. These are
The Man Who Drew Tomorrow, published in 1985 and
Tomorrow Revisited, published in 2010. Both books are written by Alastair Crompton, a keen 'Dan Dare' enthusiast and member of the
EAGLE Society. The books are both highly illustrated, with many pictures reproduced from original artwork. Despite its quality and detail, Alastair wanted to improve on his first biography and produce a definitive book about Frank Hampson and his work. This resulted in
Tomorrow Revisited. Both books are well worth reading. Alastair, who worked for many years as an advertising copywriter, sadly died in 2019.
