Original comic art is on offer, too, dating from 1957 – starting with Frank Bellamy’s brilliant portrayal of the battle of Omdurman for Eagle’s “Happy Warrior” strip, detailing the exploits of the 21st Lancers and their young Lieutenant, Winston Churchill.

There’s also the last board currently available of “Heros The Spartan”, three Garth artworks and an all-action piece of “Brett Million and the Ghost World”, all from the hand of the master, Frank Bellamy.

Eagle/Happy Warrior original artwork drawn and painted by Frank Bellamy for The Eagle Vol 8 No 47 (1957). At the battle of Omdurman on 2nd September 1898 a young Lieutenant, Winston Churchill, with 350 men of the 21st Lancers charged what they thought were about 700 Dervishes. Churchill later wrote, 'A deep crease in the ground - a dry watercourse, a khor - appeared where all had seemed smooth, level, plain; and from it there sprang, with a suddenness of a pantomime effect and a high-pitched yell, a dense white mass of 2000 tribesmen and a score of horsemen with bright flags who rose as if by magic from the earth...' | Bright Pelikan inks on board. 21 x 16 ins
