“22nd Century Futsie!”

Dated 31 December 1977, this New Year's Eve prog sends Dan Dare striding confidently across a planetary landscape in his blue spacesuit, planting a bold flag that blends Union Jack and Confederate-star designs against the star-filled void. It's a striking, quietly triumphant image — pencilled and inked by Brian Bolland and Kevin O'Neill — that captures the character's enduring spirit of exploration. Inside, John Howard and Ian Gibson serve up "22nd Century Futsie!" to ring in the galactic new year in proper 2000 AD style.
