The Eagle was the creation of the Reverend Marcus Morris, who intended it as a Christian antidote to what he saw as the
bad influence of American comics during the post-war period. He strove to produce high quality, inspirational literature unlike
any existing at the time, involving the work of teams of graphic artists such as Frank Hampson and Frank Bellamy - even creating
mockups of spaceships to use as reference for Dan Dare. The Eagle and its sister papers Girl, Swift and Robin were read by
millions throughout the 1950s and ’60s and it became the most popular comic in British history, selling over 2 million
copies per week.
