Thanks for this "coming attractions" post, Gary. It will have the UK comics buffs scratching their heads and searching in vain through their Eagle comic collections! So I'll add that the four-page complete story that will be run here was originally published in an Eagle Annual book, not the comic paper. I think the serials in the comic were scripted mainly by Ted Cowan with art by Frank Humphris. The Blackbow character was created in 1953 as "Strongbow" by editor Edward Holmes for another comic.
