Article: On Eagle’s Wings
Posted: July 16, 2012
As part of the Victoria & Albert Museum’s programme in this Olympic year, celebrating British Design 1948-2012: Innovation in the Modern Age, a small related exhibition entitled ‘On Eagle’s Wings’ was presented in Room 74 on Level 3 earlier this year (above), spotlighting British adventure comics from 1950 to 1969, the lifetime of the seminal weekly Eagle). In five glass-fronted cases were displayed both printed periodicals, most from the V&A’s own collections in the National Art Library, as well as Eduardo Paolozzi’s Krazy Kat Archive and the Renier and Rakoff Collections, and some original artworks including four pages lent from Peter and Susan Hampson’s collection of Frank Hampson’s Road of Courage biography of Jesus Christ in Eagle. Read an accompanying article which I was commissioned to write for the V&A Magazine here.
