Eagle Comic – Issue No. 272 (6th June 1987)

Sink your teeth into some classic horror with this June 1987 edition of Eagle. This issue is a standout for its terrifying cover art and the continuation of one of the magazine’s most famous crossovers: the Death Wish Dracula Saga.

Product Highlights

• Stunning Dracula Cover: Features a blood-chilling illustration of Count Dracula mid-transformation, with red eyes and blood on his chin. The tagline asks the haunting question: "Who will be next to satisfy the creature's thirst for blood?"

• Special Promotion: Offers readers a chance to win one of 50 "Amazing Dracula Disguise Sets," a nostalgic reminder of the physical prizes that made 80s comics so engaging.

• Anthology Superstars: A packed issue featuring a "who's who" of British comic legends, including Dan Dare, Doomlord, Computer Warrior, and Mach One.

• Original Details: Published 6th June 1987 with the original 28p cover price.

Condition Note

• Visual Appeal: The deep purple background and the vibrant red of the Dracula graphics remain bold and eye-catching.

• Surface Condition: There is a small area of surface wear/paper loss near the top right corner (near the price), but the central artwork is largely unaffected.

• Edges & Spine: Shows light natural wear along the edges, typical for a comic that was read and stored. The spine remains intact with original staples.

• Interior: Complete and well-preserved. The newsprint has aged to a standard vintage tan.

Collector's Appeal

Issue #272 is highly desirable for collectors who focus on horror-themed British comics. The Death Wish / Dracula crossover is considered one of the more creative and "edgy" storylines of the Eagle reboot, making this a "key" issue for that specific run.
