British Comics Update: Long Hot Summer: Eagle Summer Special 1966
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: First series Eagle Specials are rarae aves in the comic world; in fact, there are only two of them: 1962 and this one, 1966, the latest in our Long Hot Summer feature. 48 pages packed full of stories and features, including regular Eagle favourites Dan Dare, Blackbow the Cheyenne, Heros the Spartan and Iron Man (not Marvel!). A decent enough copy with some spine and corner wear, front cover off upper staple, tear at lower staple. There is a corner off centrefold page; one side affects the ‘Can You Catch A Crook?’ game, but only a promotional slogan box, the game itself is not spoilt; the other side affects a text story illustration on an Iron Man tale, but the text is not affected.
