Description

A definite grail for me, as this strip has been a huge favourite for years.

Bill Lacey & writer Mike Butterworth’s hugely enjoyable story covers the adventures of a young British flyer, WWI flyer, Harry Hawkes. Harry is part of the Royal Flying Corps (R.F.C).

Very much a companion piece to the later Charley’s War, published in Battle.

Lacey was truly a master illustrator.

Eagles Over The Western Front ran from
1971-73 in Look & Learn. A superb collected edition is available to buy from

The illustrations on every panel is quality comic page artistry taken a high degree. They could very well accompany prose literature and each one carries great drama and excitement.
