Editing Eagle (1982-1994)

[[File:Eagle1980s1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''Eagle'' issue 1, 1982]]
The '''''Eagle''''', a revival of the original ''[[Eagle]]'', was launched as a weekly comic by [[IPC]] on 27 March 1982. It absorbed ''Scream!]]'' (1984), ''[[Tiger]]'' (1985), ''[[Battle]]'' (1988), ''[[Mask]]'' (1988) and ''[[Wildcat]]'' (1989), and was cancelled in January 1994.

Like its predecessor, its lead strip was "[[Dan Dare]]" - but the hero was the great great grandson of the original. Stories were written by [[John Wagner]] and [[Pat Mills]], with painted art from [[Gerry Embleton]], [[Ian Kennedy]] and [[John Gillatt]]. In 1989 the original Dan Dare returned in a six-part story drawn by original ''Eagle'' artist [[Keith Watson]]. Later stories were written by [[Tom Tully]] and drawn by [[David Pugh]].

The rest of the comic initially consisted mainly of photo-stories, but it reverted to the traditional drawn format with issue 79 (1983). In its later years it went monthly, and much of its content was given over to reprints.
