Gerry Embleton

[4] Embleton was the first artist to work on the new Dan Dare in the revived Eagle, published by IPC Magazines in 1982.

Set 200 years after the original story, the first story-arc featured the return of Dan Dare's earliest nemesis, The Mekon.

In 1983, Embleton moved to Switzerland,[1] and later began working in children's educational illustrations and then advertising.

In 1998, he founded a company called Time Machine that works with museums all over the world, specializing in vivid displays with 3D figurines.

[5] His 1995 book The Medieval Soldier, co-authored with Tolkien illustrator John Howe, had a big influence on the living-history hobby as a whole.
