EAGLE TIMES Vol. 38 No. 1 SPRING 2025

The latest edition of EAGLE Times is out now. It has a strong Frank Bellamy theme, with the first parts of articles by myself on both 'The Happy Warrior', about Winston Churchill and 'Montgomery of Alamein' about the famous wartime General. Both strips were illustrated by Bellamy and written by Clifford Makins. The issue also includes articles by David Britton about 'Blackbow the Cheyenne', 'Riders of the Range' and the artist June Mendoza, Peter Barr's latest piece on 'EAGLE's Sporting Heroes', two of Jim Duckett's 'In and Out of the EAGLE'  pieces and the first part of a new Archie Willoughby story by myself. With a cover by Carol Tarrant, the issue can be obtained from Bob Corn at the address alongside. As the first issue of the year, this is a good time to subscribe for four issues and to join the Society.
