This Corgi Eagle Comic 2 Van Set brings to life two iconic vehicles—the Bedford CA and Volkswagen Transporter—both adorned with vibrant artwork from The Eagle comic, a British children’s periodical known for its pioneering approach to storytelling and design. Founded by Anglican vicar Marcus Morris, Eagle magazine first captivated young readers in 1950 with its Christian values and thrilling, detail-oriented stories like Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future. These diecast models celebrate the comic's legacy, complete with the eye-catching graphics that made Eagle a cultural phenomenon.
Released in 1992, this set captures the spirit of a beloved era in British comics. Both models are crafted with precision, featuring classic design elements of the vans along with printed artwork that reflects the comic’s historic charm. Sourced from an estate collection, these models are in excellent condition, with the packaging showing minor shelf wear—a testament to their age and provenance. This set is perfect for collectors and fans of British pop culture, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the golden age of children’s comics.
