“Starslayer, Part 11”

From January 1978, this issue of Britain's beloved weekly anthology drops readers straight into the world of Dan Dare, with Dave Gibbons' cover depicting a towering armored figure looming over a strange, star-studded alien landscape while a green-skinned villain's menacing face dominates the lower corner, surrounded by speech bubbles that crackle with galactic tension. The bold yellows and reds of the cover art give the whole scene a vivid, energetic pulse that captures the interstellar stakes of "Starslayer, Part 11." As a bonus, readers could also look forward to the start of "Supernova" — a Great Galactic War Game — plus a chance to win a Star Wars LP and over £400 in prizes.

Probe manages to placate the child-like Mach 0, and prevents Sharpe's men from killing him. Sharpe promises he will get the scientists to try and reverse the procedure and turn Zero back to normal. But he lies and Zero is murdered once his ambulance is out of sight. Probe finds out and swears vengeance on Sharpe, who has meanwhile gone on vacation.
