For fans of the original 1950's Eagle magazine there's a treat in store this month with the new issue (#3) of Comic Scene magazine featuring a 2 page article on the Frank Bellamy illustrated portrayal of the Happy Warrior strip.
The Happy Warrior was the back page 'true life adventure' strip dedicated to the life of Winston Churchill. For Eagle this was the first time that a living person had been the subject of the feature.
Anyway, shameless plug over for an article written by, er, me, hope you enjoy the other articles as well.
Comic Scene is available to buy here
The VERY limited edition Happy Warrior - only 3 copies made
