Product Description

Review
"The Eagle Annual of the Cutaways is here for today's dads to see how their fathers bluffed their way sp well when it came to the workings of jet planes, steam engines, oil rigs etc. the almost forensic detail in these artworks is a marvel in itself." (FQ )

"There's more scientific and engineering marvels to be found in The Eagle Annual of the Cutaways which features some of the Eagle comics' most celebrated artistic impressions of inner workings of buildings, vehicles, tube stations and bridges." (CHOICE MAGAZINE )

"This proves you are big enough to show you love him, despite the fact that under his Paul Smith shirt beats the heart of a geeky little boy." (Kerry Fowler GOOD HOUSEKEEPING )

"This book is about enjoying a visual autopsy of the future, as imagined in the past. Best bought for a child, even if it is one hidden inside an adult." (Tom Simonite NEW SCIENTIST )

"Ideal Christmas browsing material for all those ageing space cadets betrayed by history and stranded miserably in the 21st century." (David Sutton FORTEAN TIMES )

"A fantastic present for Dad or anyone fascinated by how things worked in the 1950s. Beautifully reproduced from the original colour plates, this book is sumptuous in every sense of the word. Prophetic cutaways of a channel tunnel and a modern family car rub shoulders with classic cars like the Triumph TR2 and gasometers, oil rigs and ten ton trucks. Absolutely fascinating - it'll keep Dad quiet for hours and hours!" (GATEWAY MONTHLY )

Product Description
After Dan Dare, the most famous and fondly remembered part of the Eagle comic was the cutaway. Basically, these were beautifully detailed drawings of the inner workings of pretty much anything: from steam trains, jet liners and racing cars, to oil wells, suspension bridges and tube lines beneath Piccadilly Circus. The Eagle had a team of three or four artists, but the king of the cutaway was undoubtedly L. Ashwell Wood, whose forensic attention to detail -- be it a cross section of the Cutty Sark or a grand landscape of how electricity is generated -- enthralled a generation of school boys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth It, 2 Oct 2008
I bought this at Waterstone's so paid full whack. Maybe slightly over priced there but this is still a great gift.

If you like good drawing, or are interested in how things work then buy it.

If you want a history of Eagle, or a detailed breakdown of Cutaways then try the web but this is a nicely produced introduction for young'uns, or a trip down memory lane for their grandads. For me in the middle it is the answer to many gift-giving problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not for the Connoisseur but a Beautiful Book, 2 Oct 2008
This book feels like and looks a quality product.

It's a classic coffee table book which you can pick up and put down and enjoy over and over again.

I'm not an Eagle expert and I bought this for my dad and I know he will be delighted with it. I am holding off on giving it to him so I can carry on flicking through it a bit longer.

The colour reproduction is beautiful and really brings out the detail of the artists' work. There are a few problems with the guttering but this does not detract too much.

It would have been nice to have the dates on all work but the drawings are so amazing that I didn't think about the date they were drawn until someone else mentioned it in their review and think it is only the Eagle Connoisseur who will be bothered by this.
