Dan Dare/Eagle original artwork (1950) by Frank Hampson, from The Eagle Volume 2, together with an original 'Atlantines Soldiers' sheet signed by Frank Hampson. The highly detailed Atlantine Soldiers sketches were typical of Hampson's painstaking attention to detail for all his alien beings and planets, thus embellishing the studio's burgeoning reputation and enthralling generations of young Eagle readers for decades to come. From the Frank Hampson Archive. The board panels are horizontally split for ease of transportation. Gouache on board 22 x 16 ins (2)
