Another retro property is making a comeback as the Dan Dare Corporation taps Chorion to handle the licensing rights to Dan Dare from The Eagle comic.
Now available for a number of licensing opps, Chorion has brought on Simon Spicer (greeting cards and wrap), Somerbond (apparel) and Day 2 Day Trading (figurines) to kick off the program. Russimco is also set to launch a master toy range in early 2010.
The biggest-selling British comic of all time, The Eagle moved one million copies a week in the 1950s, with hundreds of licensed products reaching the market in the 50s and 60s.
