No, but I was expecting the wholesome heroic character of Dan Dare to inhabit the comic strip named Dan Dare.For the 1950s, Dan Dare was pretty woke. Full of bigotry by today's standards, but it was promoting inclusivity, equal rights for the sexes and races, internationalism, and all that good stuff by the standards of the time. 2000AD's first efforts were just trolling the fans with this bigoted anti-hero.

Loved it at the time. Best version of The Mekon ever. Also the computer game was great.90s: the Revolver story was just okay. The Virgin comics were fine.
I absolutely loved the 2002 cartoon. It's a shame it wasn't a bigger hit, and a pity that the whole series never got a video/DVD release.
Since then I've not been keeping up TBH. I hear good things about Spaceship Away though.
