Dan Dare "Eagle", on 14 April 1950. There were two large colour pages of his story per issue. The artwork was of a high quality, the product of artists in a studio called the Old Bakehouse in Churchtown, Southport, Lancashire. The Eagle's founder, the Rev John Marcus Harston Morris, was vicar of the Southport church of St James at the time. It had scale models of spaceships, and models in costume as reference for the artists. Occasionally, "Eagle" incorporated "centrefolds" of the fictional spaceships, such as Dan's ship the "Anastasia", reminiscent of cutaway drawings of aircraft in aviation magazines or even "Eagle"
