Packed with great new strips, stories & articles, the full-colour Eagle comic landed in the grey post-war gloom of Britain in April 1950. It lit up schoolboys' lives across the land with features on hobbies, sporting personalities & space travel. Weekly features included the resident Professor Brittain explaining radar (in the first issue; he'd later go on to tackle particle theory, splitting the atom & the inside of a London Underground ticket machine), & the legendarily detailed cutaways. The first cutaway featured a jet-black ' New Gas Turbine-Electric Locomotive' emerging at speed from a tunnel; later everything from the manufacturing of ice cream to the workings of the Quebec Bridge would be forensically dissected in beautiful Super-8 colour.

The Eagle Annual: the best of the 1960s comic follows the successful formula of the 1950s annual: strips, features, adverts & editorial are annotated with contemporary captions & longer pieces telling the story of the Eagle's second decade. ...
