Career

While at college in Manchester Dakin was drawing Abe for his college magazine when he met Paul Gravett who introduced him to the concept of self publishing comics in zine form and distributing them via the mail and Gravett's Fast Fiction service. While initially dismissive he soon became interested, corresponding with Eddie Campbell and Phil Elliott amongst others.

When Gravett launched Escape Magazine Dakin became a regular contributor. He also had strips in the Australian anthology Fox Comics. By the late 80s he was publishing comics through the Harrier New Wave imprint including Paris, The Man Of Plaster and the anthologies Gag! and Sinister Romance. Temptation, which had run in Escape, found a home in Deadline magazine and was published as a collection by Penguin Books in 1991. Dakin collaborated with Phil Elliott on numerous strips including Mr Day and Mr Night, Greenhouse Warriors and The Man From Cancer.

Dakin was employed by Marvel UK for a period where he wrote the comics ClanDestine and The Real Ghostbusters amongst others.
