Oh my Mum and Dad threw out all my old issues of the Eagle years ago. I managed to save my 2000AD collection though. I've been pining for the Eagle for a long time, but they're nowhere to be found at all. I'm seriously interested in working with you to get your entire collection scanned. PM me if you're up for it - not quite sure of the logistics of getting it done, obviously I'd pay for all postage costs from you to me and then back to you again in batches.

@gettingcreative76 Hey man. If you PM me your address, I'd happily send some issues to a fellow Eagle fan free of charge. Merry Christmas :)

I wish I collected comics. I was young in the age of pokemon. I collected cards instead >_> Looks like some cool stuff, though. I got my hands on some crazy japanese rags a while back. Some dud cut all this guys limbs off and dragged him through the ocean so sharks could eat him. I was like 11, that boggled my mind.

@TabletopTitan You know I've started collecting trading cards as well lol. Not got any gaming cards yet ( I did have some MAGIC: The Gathering when I was younger). I might do a vid on the cards I've collected so far. I'm such a geek, but I love this stuff lol.

@gettingcreative76

wow, that would be fantastic if the 80s eagles were scanned.

I loved this comic when I was 10. Recently, thanks to eBay, I was able to recollect the 1982-83 "photostrip" era. Man, what a nostalgia trip! Who remembers: "I am Doomlord, servant of Nox, master of life, BRINGER OF DEATH!"

@HorrorOfMike Hmm, I dunno. It's certainly not out of the question, but I'd guess it's probably not an uncommon idea.

@HorrorOfMike I keep meaning to do some videos on the things I collect but just aint got around to it yet? I've got a fine collection of Robo Machines/Gobots from the 80's! Love em! ;-)

@CMF1606 Nice, you should do a video on them! I've been thinking of buying some less expensive horror anthology comics, but I'm not sure what they'll be like.

@HorrorOfMike There was three specials as it ran and a compilation of some of the strips in 1987! I have them all but not at hand to be 100% sure? I payed just under £100 for mine and they're in top condition considering the paper they're printed on! Oh and there was a very old Scream comic that came out long before the comic run! Google Back from the Depths! ;-)

@lawnboyspost1975 I've got a collection of 2000 A.D. and Judge Dredds as well mate so I'll do a video on it at some point.
