The game's question
A clue, a pause, then the next, as if turning the pages of the comic together.
14 April 1950: the very first issue of the comic ‘Eagle’ came out, and around 900,000 copies were sold. On the front cover was its hero, the pilot of the future, drawn by Frank Hampson. From then on, children all over the country waited for his next adventure every week. What was his name? Circle it together.
- Scott Tracy
- Dan Dare
- Mr Benn
Need a hint?
His surname is a little word that means ‘to be brave enough’.
See the answer
Answer: Dan Dare – the pilot of the future, on the first cover of ‘Eagle’.
Why this game : Comics read cover to cover, then swapped – a good way into the stories of the playground and its heroes.
