Retro Mags: Eagle, Star Wars and Computer and Video Games

Currently clearing out the flat and came across a series of old comics/mags I used to have as a kid. Took some snaps before they get archived forever!

Anyone remember Eagle from the 80s? Well, here’s issue one and two from 1982. Such an odd comic, really apocalyptic in it’s storytelling, in fact I think the Earth was under some kind of threat on every page be it Mekons or Doomlords. Maybe it was relaunched to try and give 2000 AD a run for it’s money, but as the years went on it tended to become more tame in nature, less disturbing and generally less interesting.

I’ve also dug out some old Star Wars comics and an old Computer and Video Games magazine. So random – brings back GoTo codes all over again. I can’t believe I used to spend hours trying to copy code from magazines only to see them run error reports when hitting the return key.

But good to see that CVG is still going strong
