Eagle Comics was a short lived comic book publishing company that existed to reprint comic stories from the UK's 2000 A.D. magazine for distribution in North America. They existed from 1983 to 1986 and were based in London, England with product production and distribution located in Canada.
History
The company was formed by
Nick Landau to republish stories from the
comics anthology 2000 A.D., repackaged into American comic book format (in the same way his
Titan Books had been reprinting them as trade paperbacks).
[Bishop (2007) page 79. Initially discussing the Titan trade paperbacks and IPC's non-payment of royalties to creators for reprints, Landau says "We decided to pay creators out of our own profits, which did not make IPC too happy. We did this again when we launched and ran Eagle Comics in the US for IPC reprinting."] In 1986 the license, from
IPC Media, passed to Quality Communications.
Titles
The series they brought to American audiences included:
