British Update: Free Gift Farrago: Eagle, Starlord, Tornado, 2000 AD
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: When 2000 AD revolutionized the ailing UK comics industry in the 1970’s, its publisher, IPC, launched several other titles in an attempt to duplicate its success. Among them were the revived Eagle, Starlord, and Tornado, all of which offer free gift issues this update, as does 2000 AD itself. Highlights include Starlord #2’s ‘Space Calculator’ and Tornado #2’s ‘Disaster Pack’, (illustrated) but other gifts include Phil Edmond’s World Of Sport booklet, an Eagle Boomerang, and a poster of old Stony Face himself – Judge Dredd!
