Stripey with Flamer SpryDAN DARE WINNER
14/12/07: The winner of our recent Dan Dare competition in partnership with Virgin Comics was Ian Utley from Bournemouth (even if he doesn't know what MMs are).
The name of Digby's pet alien in the original Dan Dare series in the original
Eagle was of course Stripey who, as the fab web site dandare.org.uk relates, first encountered by Dan and Co on the planet Cryptos during the Rogue Planet adventure. Stripey became very fond of Digby and "Flamer" Spry, becoming rather like a loyal pet. He was considered a highly intelligent creature and proved to be an invaluable member of the team, helping in the defeat of the Phants before accompanying the team back to Earth where once again he proved his worth in the struggle against The Mekon and his army of robots.
