Dandy Presents: Desperate Dan by Jamie Smart

 

In 2010, Jamie Smart was offered the chance to bring The Dandy comics with Desperate Dan and his appetite for cow pies into the 21st century, and this volume collects some of his funniest, wackiest and silliest comics in a single volume for the first time ever.

Desperate Dan appeared in the very first Dandy in 1937 and remained a fixture of the comic throughout its life, becoming its cover star and signature character in 1984.  

A resident of Cactusville, a strange mash-up of wild western town and a modern British city where herded buffalo could be seen side by side with red pillar boxes, Desperate Dan was the strongest, and often silliest, man in the west!

In 2010, Jamie Smart was offered the chance to bring Dan and his appetite for cow pies into the 21st century, and this volume collects some of his funniest, wackiest and silliest comics in a single volume for the first time.

In the foreword to this volume, Jamie Smart says: Desperate Dan is what every comic artist and writer dreams of: just a great character, and when you have one of those, the stories start telling themselves. I grew up loving all of Dan’s quirks, but I wanted to add a few of my own and take him places he might never have been before. My hope was that a new generation of readers might discover Desperate Dan and think of him the same way I did, as a superhero for funny comics.
