Product Highlights

• Stunning Horror Art: A massive, detailed illustration of a giant, menacing bat-creature soaring over a dark, mysterious castle. The warm orange "sunset" palette creates a beautiful, eerie contrast with the green typography.

• Classic Anthology Strips: Contains a wide array of stories from Eagle’s peak late-80s era, including the high-stakes sci-fi of Dan Dare and the gritty action of Storm Force.

• Design Excellence: Features the iconic late-80s red banner logo with the golden eagle mascot, representing the final polished look of the weekly publication.

• Original Details: Published 16th July 1988 with the original 30p cover price.

Condition Note

• Provenance: Includes the vintage "Mrs Wolton" newsagent mark handwritten in the top right margin, consistent with the high-quality provenance of your entire collection.

• Paper Quality: This 1988 issue uses the superior paper stock of the era, which has resisted tanning much better than earlier 80s newsprint.
