This is the Signed unique original Watercolour painting by Keith Page.
This is the original art for the comic page of Dan Dare from the Eagle comic 1990. The text balloons are on an acetate overlay. Keith is a long time fan of Dan Dare and this work on the 1990 comic relives the original 1950s Dan Dare superbly. His art is fantastic and conveys the feeling and mood of the Frank Hampson art of the 1950s.
