IN AND OUT OF THE EAGLE 56

 

One of the many 'Dan Dare' products produced during the 1950s was the Wallis Rigby 'Anastasia' Presso Book. This provided press out cardboard parts which made up into a model of Dan's spaceship, named in honour of Digby's Aunt Anastasia, who was instrumental in preventing the Treens from conquering Earth. Brian Hayes, an EAGLE Society Member and collector recently acquired a copy of this book and has made up the model as shown below. Brian placed a Kentoys 'Dan Dare' figure for scale.
