Awesome / Dan Dare

  • Garth Ennis' run is filled with Moments of Awesome, but the most awesome is perhaps the most understated; Captured, chained and monologued, Daniel MacGregor Dare has just one thing to say to the Evil Overlord:
    • Earlier in the story, Dan Dare's fleet of refugees are fleeing from a Meekon warship when one of the ships suddenly turns around and charges the warship head-on. It's commanded by Digby, who's only doing it to buy the fleet time. His final act is to cover the pilot's eyes so she won't have to watch the ship be destroyed around them.
  • Dan's code of honour pays off in Prisoners of Space when the Mekon thinks he's escaped:
    Don't be so sure, Mekon: Death rides with you. Attached to the hull of your flagship is a limpet mine. Remember: Dare never lies!
    • And, with that, the Mekon's Treens abandoned their master and surrendered.
