Eagle Annual: The Best If the 1950s Comic Features Dan Dare the Greatest Comic Strip of All Time

From Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, to PC 49, Harris Tweed, Extra Special Agent and Jeff Arnold in Riders of the Range, The Eagle carried numerous strips right from its launch in 1950 through to the sixties. The fourpence-halfpenny weekly also featured plenty of sports coverage and the famous 'cutaway' diagrams of battle ships, steam trains, light aircraft, etc. Rather than simply re-run straight facsimiles of the comics, the Eagle Annual of the 1950s is drawn from the vast Eagle archive and features the strips as well as individual drawings/artwork, original advertisements and a present-day narrative. A superior object of desire for boys, lads and dads everywhere. Author Biography Daniel Tatarsky, who wrote Flick to Kick: the illustrated history of Subbuteo, will compile and edit both annuals.
