Editing Dan Dare (section)

====1960s====
In 1960 artwork was taken over by Frank Bellamy, Don Harley, [[Keith Watson (artist)|Keith Watson]], Gerald Palmer, with Bruce Cornwell, and the look changed, with the colourful, rounded rocket ships replaced by angular silver craft, and changes to the space suits and insignia. The changes were never wholeheartedly taken up, however, and the look was erratic from then on. In 1962 the strip was removed from the front to the inside of the comic, in black and white, and was drawn by Keith Watson. Over the remaining years the strip varied in format and quality, eventually returning to the front page in colour, until it ended in 1967 with Dan retiring to become Space Fleet controller. Strips from the 1950s were reprinted until 1969, when ''Eagle'' merged with ''[[Lion (comic)|Lion]]''. For a while the reprints continued in black and white in ''Lion''.
