EAGLE TIMES VOL. 36 NO. 4 WINTER 2023

The final EAGLE Times of 2023 is out now and as the cover shows, there is an article about the Classics Illustrated series in this issue. Written by Kevin O'Donnell, it examines this popular publication which told many classic stories in strip form. Also in this issue is the final part of Steve Winders' reviews of the Luck of the Legion novels; a detailed look at the first 'Dan Dare' who was an American detective, by David Britton; a new series about the great illustrators of the 1950s by Adam Goodman, with Milton Caniff being the first subject; an article by Harry Royle about the actress Shirley Cain, whose early career was featured in Girl Annual; a piece by Peter Barr about the cricketer Patsy Hendren, who was a significant contributor to the early EAGLE; a one off Christmas story of Archie Willoughby by Steve Winders and an article about the 1960 - 62 strip 'Knights of the Road' by myself.
