The Eagle

The Eagle is a Golden Age costumed hero who debuted in 1940, created by Walter Frehm. He operates in the patriotic tradition of early superhero adventurers, later preserved and reprinted by AC Comics alongside other classic Golden Age characters.

Soaring out of the Golden Age in 1940, The Eagle made his debut in The Green Mask #1, brought to life by creator Walter Frehm in an era when costumed heroes were still a thrilling new invention. What makes this character a genuine collector's curiosity is the remarkable span of his publishing history — from those earliest wartime pages all the way through 2008, a testament to the enduring appeal that AC Comics found in him. He keeps distinguished company, sharing adventures with the likes of Green Lama, Jethro Dumont, and Bart Hill, and his appearances across FemForce, AC Annual, and Savage Dragon speak to a character who found a warm home in AC's lovingly retro universe of revived Golden Age figures. With only seven catalog appearances, tracking down every one of them is a compact but rewarding quest for any fan who appreciates the heroes who laid the foundation for everything that followed.
