Eagle Annuals #9 and #11 with Dan Dare stories - are they worth it?

[Paul Turner]

Are these Dan Dare stories any good? The books seem old so I figure
they might be worth buying:

Eagle #11 Includes Dan Dare story "The Solid Gold Asteroid"...

and ask?

- well, he mightn't know the answer is "no"...

(there _are_ reasons for wanting the first dozen-and-a-half
of the eagle annuals, but quality of story-line or artwork
in the dan dare stories contained therein ain't amongst 'em.
neither frank hampson, nor the team he put together had any-
thing to do with the dan dare comic stories in the annuals.)

- love, a ppint. who admits to having a fair few of them
