	The Eagle comic
		Eagle was the result of a glider accident and of my own strong interest in the problem of communicating with the general public.
		Many American comics were most skilfully and vividly drawn, but often their content was deplorable, nastily over-violent and obscene, often with undue emphasis on the supernatural and magical as a way of solving problems.
		Eagle died slowly and, it seemed to me, painfully, and so my choice of The Best of Eagle is confined to the years 1950 to 1962.

	Eagle vs. Shark (2007): Reviews
		Watching Eagle vs Shark is like sitting next to a terminally awkward first date at a restaurant.
		Eagle vs. Shark feels like a low-budget, foreign cousin to Napolean Dynamite, less polished and sly.
		In the end, Eagle vs. Shark represents a convincing triumph for Dumb.

	Eagle Comic with Dan Dare and Digby
		The Eagle was the brainchild of Reverend Marcus Morris, who created the title in response to what he saw as the growth in popularity of violent American comics.
		The Eagle was hugely influential and marked a departure from its contemporaries especially the British comics which had to sit up and take notice and change to compete with the new bigger kid on the block.
		The comic introduced such characters as PC 49, Captain Pugwash, Skippy the Kangaroo and many more during its nineteen year run but it was Dan Dare that became synonymous with both the Eagle and British comics.

		The colour page count of the comic had been reduced from 8 to 6 and one of those was usually an advert.
		By 1960, thanks to the Fleetway takeover, the popular Eagle Club had ceased to be and by 1962 most of the popular educational features that separated the Eagle from other comics had been reduced to just one.
		The comic that had given so much enjoyment and involvement to generations of boys had finally come to an end.

	Dan Dare History
		Eagle Annuals continued to be published up to the annual for 1975, each of these contained a Dan Dare strip.
		The most unusual feature of the comic, though, was the inclusion of a number of photo-strips, the first time they had been used in a boys comic.
		By 1989 the Dan Dare strip in Eagle Comic had spiralled to its nadir with the Marshall and his companion Velvet O'Neal wearing bizarre leotard type outfits and facing increasingly mind numbing adventures.

	Comics in The Avengers (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The most obvious incarnation of comics in The Avengers is 'The Winged Avenger', an episode which has a comic strip villain, a comic strip company and some humour at the expense of then comic book related smash hit series, Batman.
		Like Mickey Mouse Weekly, The Eagle was printed, unlike many of the other comics of the period, to a very high standard using the photogravure process and on a relatively high standard of paper stock.
		Bellamy's next work was for the Gerry Anderson comic TV Century 21, for who he produced a 'Thunderbirds' strip so dynamic it was almost possible to view the show as one which used actors rather than puppets (even though the likenesses of the puppets were retained!).

	Hull in print : When the Eagle dared
		The Eagle and Dan Dare were the inspiration of Marcus Morris, a Church of England clergyman, and Frank Hampson, a talented graphic artist.
		Their idea was to create a moral children's publication which didn't suffer from the ridiculous 'cow pie and pranks' storylines of pre-war British comics or the 'degeneracy' of US imports.
		However, from the mid-1950s, The Eagle's diet of Boy's Own adventure started to fall out of favour as the popularity of television grew, although the comic continued to be printed until 1995.

	BBC - My Science Fiction Life - Dan Dare
		Eagle was relaunched with all those photo strips and Dan Dare as the only proper comic strip.
		Created in 1950 to adorn the front cover of the debut edition of the Eagle comic book, Dan Dare is an intrepid, chisel-jawed hero with a stiff upper lip.
		The comic closed in 1969, but Dare was resurrected briefly in the pages of 2000AD in the late 1970s, and once again adorned the cover of the Eagle when it was reborn in 1982 - this time as a photo-story-led weekly, which limped on until 1992.

	Dan Dare
		In the late fifties Eagle acquired a new editor who objected to the high cost of the studio system, and the conflict caused Frank Hampson to leave the strip in 1959, in the middle of a long plot arc that saw Dan searching an alien planet for his long-lost father.
		Eagle merged with the magazine Lion, and strips from the 1950s were reprinted until it folded in 1969.
		In 1997, to celebrate their 20th anniversary, the comic 2000 AD published two issues with additional free comics, the first one being a reprint of the very first issue of 2000 AD, which starred Dan Dare.

	The UK's biggest and best FREE online literary review, published monthly - APRIL 2007 Issue 103
		The Eagle was a British weekly comic, which ran in two main incarnations over the period of 1950 to 1994 (with accompanying annuals).
		The Eagle was the creation of the Reverend Marcus Morris, who intended it as a Christian antidote to what he saw as the bad influence of American comics during the post-war period.
		This was Eagle's most stable and successful period; although in 1987 a mini-relaunch occurred, as the comic's size and paper stock was again changed (resembling the original incarnation) and a slew of strips were replaced.

	BBC - Cult Presents 2000AD and British comics - Features - Dan Dare
		Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, was the British comic hero of the fifties and sixties - no webslinger or bat-fetishist could threaten his place in the hearts of a generation of small boys.
		While the rock-solid ethics of Dan and his pagemates might have won over the parents who actually paid for The Eagle, it was the high standard of the comic that drew boys in their thousands to demand it.
		Management changes in the early sixties affected the style of The Eagle too, and at the same time competition was increasing, with many British action titles on the market, plus imports of US superhero titles like Spider-Man. After a long decline, The Eagle finally died in 1970.

	Dan Dare at AllExperts
		Dan Dare is a classic British science fiction comic hero, created by illustrator Frank Hampson for the Eagle comic story Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future in 1950.
		Although the stories were set in the late 1990s, the dialogue and manner in which all the characters interact is reminiscent of British war films of the 1950s (it has been described as "Biggles in Space" or the British equivalent of Buck Rogers).
		As with the original Eagle, the opening Dan Dare story was an epic, lasting for approximately 18 months, written by Pat Mills and John Wagner.

	Supersuckers - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Something of an anomaly on the Sub Pop roster, the Supersuckers bore a limited surface resemblance to grunge, but they were a party band at heart, donning cowboy hats and kicking out a gleefully trashy brand of throttling, rockabilly-flavored garage punk.
		Shortening their name to the Supersuckers, the band recorded singles for several indie labels, including eMpTy, Sympathy for the Record Industry, and Lucky; these were collected on the eMpTy compilation The Songs All Sound the Same, which became the band's first CD release in 1992.
		Featuring one of the band's best-known songs in "Coattail Rider," the record also spun off the single "Hell City, Hell," whose B-side was a fan-favorite cover of Ice Cube's "Dead Homiez." The Supersuckers came into their own with their second album, 1994's La Mano Cornuda, whose title translates as "the horned hand" (i.e., of Satan).
