Revolver was a relatively short lived comic published in the UK at the turn of the 1990s. It was notable for its diverse content reflecting the explosion of the music scene at the time. A wide range of graphic styles and contributors ranging from a surreal inside-the-mind-of Jimi Hendrix storyline (Purple Days), a psychedelic superhero in the form of Peter Milligan and Brendan McCarthy's Rogan Gosh, distorted caricatures in Pinhead Nation, plus Happenstance and Kismet, Paul Honeyford's Fighting Figurines, student-house antics in Dire Streets, as well as the resurrection of Dan Dare, this time in a story called simply Dare. In Dare, writer Grant Morrison gave a new interpretation to the original Eagle character in a political story setting Dan Dare against a thinly veiled caricature of the Thatcher government. Revolver attempted to take advantage of the 1960s revival which was sweeping British culture in the early 1990s, including taking its name from The Beatles album of the same name. It gained a small following but not enough for it to last beyond its seventh issue. After its cancellation Dare was completed in the pages of Crisis, and Rogan Gosh was compiled into a collected edition in 1994 by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. Key strips...
