Each issue of the Eagle was chocablock with adventures and exciting new pastimes for boys - from Dan Dare to Extra Special Agent Harris Tweed. In the 1950s, the comic embarked on an ambitious series chronicling the life of some of Britain's most famous men - Nelson, Baden Powell, Alfred the Great, Montgomery and Churchill, to name a few.
Here we have the complete set of Eagle comic strips which tell the story of Winston Churchill's
life - his birth at Blenheim, his education at Harrow and Oxford, his time in the army as well as his
appointment to government and eventually to his stint as War Leader.
• Includes an extended essay by Richard M. Langworth, a pre-eminent Churchill historian.
• Original comic strip format, lifted directly out of the Eagle comics from the 1950s 'Heroes' series
