Of all the covers in 1986, Oliver most looked forward to doing September's. He had been an avid Dan Dare/Eagle fan as a boy, admired Frank Hampson (Dare's creator) and Frank Bellamy, who both had drawn some of the original strips, and finally got to draw Dan Dare himself when Eagle was relaunched in the Eighties. But Oliver never rated the relaunched Eagle, so the notion of recreating an original Fifties-style Eagle front page for Virgin's acclaimed Dan Dare was close to his heart - as was having a comic as a CRASH cover. |
