Product Description

'A delight'

Review
'This Week's Must-Have... With not a whiff of the terrible Eighties retread, this sticks to square-jawed heroes, spaceships, war - and a detective called Harris Tweed.' (LIVE - MAIL ON SUNDAY )

'A lovingly rendered facsimile of highlights ffrom the original comics.' (TIMES )

'Irresistible... its 176 pages, lovingly compiled, contain that curious mixture of features - diverting, educational and religious' (DAILY MAIL )

'Given that it reproduces comics from nearly 60 years ago, the Eagle Annual of the 1950s is in some ways amazingly up to date' (Simon Hoggart GUARDIAN )

'Beautifully published collection of greatest hits from the classic comic - not just the strips, but readers' letters, car cross-sections, sports pages and adverts ******' (TIME OUT )

'A stunning compilation from the Eagle comics of the 50s... Far from being a condescending look at a niave age, this spiffing annual may well inspire a new dawn for the comic.' (DAILY SPORT )

'Spiffing romps from the golden age of Eagle comics' (THE LONDON PAPER )

'A fascinating social documentation' (GOOD BOOK GUIDE )

'Christmas really can come early. Sometimes, it can seem like several have come all along at once - and that's the feeling that many chaps of a certain age will get with even a sideways glance at the cover of this marvellous book' (MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS )

'The newly published Eagle Annual should keep those children of the 50s quiet for hours this Christmas... this facinating book tells the story of how the comic was born as well as taking readers on a trip down memory lane.' (DERBY EVENING TELEGRAPH )

'Whether you are old enough to have enjoyed The Eagle the first time round, or you're looking at the strips for the first time, this will have you captivated... Nostalgia at its best.' (NUNEATON TELEGRAH )

'Holding this book is like holding a mint edition of an original Eagle annual from the 1950s - sheer joy! Absolutely stunning - Dads won't be able to resist the charm of this fascinating collector's item. A second volume, Eagle Annual of the 1960s is promised for this time next year - so that's next year's Christmas sorted!' (GATEWAY )

'A social reflection from a more innocent age... A Christmas stocking filler of quality' (HUDDERSFIELD DAILY EXAMINER )

'This excellent collection draws on the vast Eagle archive, and features original strips as well as individual drawing and artwork...a delight' (PARK AND HOLIDAY HOMES )

4.0 out of 5 stars Eagle Annual of the 50's, 12 Nov 2007
By Michael Johnson "devonmike" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If, as I do, you have fond memories of the 50's then this book is a MUST. In so many ways the Eagle comic represented this era better than any other British comic. The book is beautifully presented and contains so much nostalgic reading and excellent reproduction of pages from the original comic including the first ever issue in April 1950. Yes, some strips are not included but this is a small critism. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dan Dare great nostalgia, fantastic xmas present, 12 Nov 2007
By L Freeman "L Freeman" (London, england) - See all my reviews
The history of THE EAGLE is great, but holding this book is sheer joy! The printing has been done to emulate a publication of the time, really good! The cover is printed with wear and tear to make it look like a 1950s book. Completely stunning - Dads and Grandads won't be able to resist the charm of this fascinating nostalgic book. A second volume, Eagle Annual of the 1960s is promised for this time next year - so that's next year's Christmas presents sorted too! Really recommend it for the orginal Eagle reader and the new Eagle reader. My Dad was so pleased to have received it and loves it!

5.0 out of 5 stars an exhilirating trip down memory lane..., 12 Nov 2007
Absolutely fabulous, really enjoyed the read, couldnt put the book down! was packed with nostaglia from beginning to end, printed on high quality paper, the book was a real treat to receive. I shall certainly be buying another couple of copies for family/friends who were also avid Eagle readers. Would recommend.. a perfect gift. Looking forward to the second book, which im told is due out next year. Also hear the Dan Dare comic is being released by Virgin Comics at the end of the month, so look forward to that too.

Like a bunch of bad photocopies, and mostly too small and faded to read. No central margins. Utter rubbish, avoid. Buy an old genuine Eagle annual instead.
