Dan Dare isn’t fooled by the relative calm in space. Bizarre events prove him right. The Mekon is back. Stars Ed Stoppard.
Dan Dare and his crew have overcome The Mekon’s ruthless robots and staved-off rogue human scientist, Blasco - in cahoots with the fearsome Vora.
All seems well in the solar system, with Dare still wary - until spaceships start disappearing near Venus.
