In 1988 a renewed interest in the 'Eagle' era cutaways and comic strips coincided with the publication of a new title: 'The Eagle Book of Cutaways.' Although there had been a fairly large cadre of Eagle artists, this focussed entirely on the drawings of Leslie Ashwell Wood, with an introduction by Denis Gifford.
It was published by Webb & Bower - an imprint of Michael Joseph.
In 2007, 8 and 9 a set of three compilation volumes of Cutaways and Comic Strips was published stimulating another spate of 'Eagle Comic Revival.'
The scrolling gallery of the front cover images of these four books can be found at the end of the following narrative including salient publishing details:
Below is a list of cutaways featured in each publication, all of which had appeared previously in Eagle Comics or Eagle Annuals at one time or another. Images of many of these are featured in the 'Eagle Comic 1950-1969' section above.
