Andrew Mark Sewell: "In many ways, the Mekon would not have concerned himself with battling Dan Dare and the humans if only they'd left him alone. In his mind, he had this perfect train-set on Venus, and it was only because Dare came in and quite literally kicked over a few of his trains that he turned his attention to Earth, and thus was born an unbridled hatred of Dare, and a thirst for revenge and a desire to see Dare's demise." Judge Dredd Megazine #390.

Officer Hawkins: "You might fool the others... with your gardening and your pleasant conversation, but not me. Underneath that smiling face you're the same evil green bastard you always were." Dan Dare #3 (Titan Comics).
