Dan Dare is is one of the most iconic British comic characters, going back to his original appearance in 1950. He's very much an optimistic pro-Britain character, not unlike Buck Rogers, but specifically modeled on WWII Fighter Plane aces, just put in space. But because the character was quite a patriotic one, when Morrison got the chance to write a series it was all about how horrible Britain was and how foolish Dan Dare was for believing in it. Morrison's run ended with Dan Dare's arch-enemy anally raping him then having him dragged off and thrown in jail (because the Government has been taken over by the villains). It ends with Dare "winning" because his allies detonated a Fusion bomb, killing him and the bad guys... and a lot of innocents. It's unclear how big the explosion is, but it seems very likely it destroyed all of England. We're given a quote where Dare says he's glad the villains showed him how bad England had become, how the "good" England only ever existed in his head, because that meant the good version could never be destroyed.

I'm not a fan of Morrison. I'm glad some people are, and there's some stuff of his I've enjoyed, but the idea that he's done a good job with every character he's been put on doesn't hold muster. He's often hamfisted as fuck and completely wrong for a character. He'd be better if he stuck to his own creations.
