MORE STRIPS FROM EAGLE DUMMY No. 2

Rob Conway

Very similar to the version which appeared in the published Eagle, except that this is in colour.

Originally credited to Frank Hampson, who drew the first few episodes, Conway was passed swiftly to artist Harold Johns. I don’t know who took over the story. Very much a filler, it appeared on the third to last page.

The Great Adventurer

Originally intended to fill two pages in the comic, until Hulton decided
that was overdoing the religious element. The heading and several frames on this page disappeared from the final version.

THE COMPLETE DUMMY

The Dan Dare story from the dummy is discussed here.

There were 12 pages to the dummy. You can see the full set on Wakefield's Spacefleet site.
