The first annual from the famed Eagle comic, circa 1951. It came my way in the mid-70's, and as a Marvel-obsessed nipper, I was less than impressed with the frightfully polite, rather dull middle class contents. Today - it's still awful.
The Eagle was revived in 1982, complete with Dan Dare and The Mekon (both of whom had already had a more dynamic reinvention in 2000AD back in 1977), alongside some ill-considered photo-strips. A terrible effort that somehow kept going for years.
