The Crystal Comics run of Eagle featured some fantastic artwork on the covers of the books. Leaping, smashing and crashing off store shelves with a combination of Ditko and Manga (Ditkanga?)-there are some real gems of early Vokesian design. Have no fear we'll be putting each one of them up for your enjoyment here. But what you don't often see is the BACK covers of these books floating around online. Crystal Comics went all out and provided a bonus image on the back of each book-and these rival the cover! Here is the back of EAGLE #1.
What is particularly cool about this is that the art is clean of logos and featured the characters from the story you just read. Here is Richard Eagle's menagerie of menace from the early years.
Yes indeed, we need more ninjas...
Enjoy! Be sure to click the thumbnails for a full sized look.
