We’re pleased to report that although the upcoming issue of Spaceship Away, on sale soon, brings the first Ex Astris ‘prequel’ story to a close, the strip will return to the Magazine next year – and this time, it will be for an ongoing run.
“We’ll be back with Issue 21,” says writer John Freeman. “We’re delighted the editors of Spaceship Away have committed to a further series of stories: it’s a testament to Mike Nicoll’s creation and his stunning work that the strip has proved a success in the Magazine.”
It looks like it’s going to be an interesting year ahead for the SF comic magazine: in addition to continuing Dan Dare stories and more, Issue 19 will see the arrival of the Daily Mirror‘s classic strip Garth, coloured by John Ridgway – a story that has never been reprinted in the UK.
Talks are also going on with Sydney Jordan about completing the Dan Dare story he started
in the Planet on Sunday.
