“Who is the Eagle?”

The Eagle #1 (1971) kicks off with the titular hero uncovering a chilling plot by a war industry to manipulate Senators and prolong the Indochina conflicts. Written and illustrated by Jim Starlin, with inks by Howard Keltner and lettering by the same, the issue introduces a high-stakes thriller where the Eagle is branded a threat by both the C.I.A. and F.B.I. — all before the mystery of his true identity is resolved. The cover, also by Jim Starlin, captures the tension with a striking, shadowed portrait of the masked figure.
