	Dan Dare Exhibition Reports
		EAGLE was founded by the Rev. Marcus Morris (who took on the role of editor) together with Frank Hampson from ideas they had worked on in 1949 and early 1950, as a response to the influx of ‘morally questionable' horror comics like EC from America, and to promote hearty Christian values.
		Hampson left DAN DARE in 1959 and was succeeded by a host of other creative teams, until the EAGLE's demise in 1969.
		Hampson went beyond just taking reference photographs, as far as making near full size models, elaborate sets and costumes to ensure accuracy and consistency.

	Modesty Blaise - The Lost Characters of Frank Hampson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Strictly speaking Modesty isn’t one of Hampson’s lost characters, in the sense she was never submitted to Eagle, and she did get published.
		What you see here is a row of Hampson’s Modesty, followed by a row of the same strip drawn by Jim Holdaway.
		Frank accepted the offer, but took many weeks to return with his strip, giving (it seems) no reason for the delay.

		Both Frank and Marcus were hard at it from the beginning of 1949 to April 1950.

		Frank Hampson was also one of the first artists to draw his comic strip from life.

		Hampson had been asked by clergyman Marcus Morris to create a Christian hero that he planned to use in a new comic that he was devising.

		The year 2000 was the 50th anniversary of the strips first appearance, and to mark the occasion a metal bust of the space colonel was erected in the town of Southport, the adoptive home of Frank Hampson, as a permanent tribute.

		Frank Hampson returned for Operation Saturn, the first story to involve a human enemy.

	Dan Dare - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		It was distinguished by its long, complex story lines, snappy dialogue and meticulous animation-style artwork by Hampson and other artists including Harold Johns, Don Harley, Bruce Cornwell, Greta Tomlinson, Frank Bellamy and Keith Watson.
		The artwork was of a very high quality, being the product of a team of artists working in a studio system, based at Frank Hampson's house in Epsom, Surrey.
		In 1960 the artwork was taken over by Frank Bellamy and Don Harley, and the look of the strip was changed significantly, with the colourful, rounded rocket ships replaced by angular silver craft, and changes to the space suits and insignia.

		Hampson was Britain's answer to Herge, though only in terms of work ethic and method.
		For Dan Dare Hampson's studio produced scale models of props and space ships, built costumes, masks and tons of photographic reference to produce what is still considered one of the greatest acheivements of British Comics.
		I'd like to see Frank Robbins in there too as he has to be one of the most underappreciated adventure artists the USA has ever produced, and yes his women did always look slightly crazy.

		Well, chums, although the date isn't given with this story, I expect it to be about 7 years ago or rather in the late 1990s as depicted by creator Frank Hampton and his pals back in 1953.
		His exploits are illustrated by Frank Hampton and his team bring these characters to life.
		Frank Hampson had a meticulous way of going about doing his work and Dan Dare is one of the British icons that any SF fan should have more than a passing acquaintance with in their collections.

		Several ideas were put forward including an annual art prize, a bust of Frank Hampson or Marcus Morris, a golden EAGLE, a plaque of some description, a publication or a statue of Dan Dare.
		The committee "appointed" to handle the arrangements for a celebratory weekend (Ron French, Nicholas Hill and myself) were also asked to present their ideas for a suitable permanent memorial.
		The key elements were how to capture the imagination of the public, to find an image that was instantly recognisable, a long-lasting monument and, very importantly, one that had style and quality.

		The Frank Bellamy Day was not as well supported as we had hoped, especially as Frank was a wonderful local illustrator and a very full day of events included a comprehensive display of his original Eagle artwork.
		The highlight of the event was the unveiling of a plaque on Bayford Lodge, the home of Frank Hampson and his family, dedicated to him and the studio that operated in the house.
		We particularly thank Joan Porter for her help in preparing the brochure and for the article she contributed, Peter Hampson and Alan Calson (Mayor of Epsom and Ewell Borough Council) for unveiling the plaque and Don Harley and Greta Tomlinson for representing the Dan Dare artistic team.
