Don't suppose anyone knows if the 1980s relaunch of Eagle has ever been made available in electronic format?
I've got a sudden urge to read some Dan Dare and Doomlord, but going up in the loft and trying to sort the comics out into some kind of order isn't filling me with joy.

Demonoid used to always be the place to go for obscure comics but although its back none of the old posts have any seeders

There are some on The Pirate Bay if you want to have a look on there

Cheers. Just found what looks to be a complete run of the 80s version in it's own torrent, but there's very few seeds so it may take a while to get.

Your link has far more seeds and what looks to be a complete set of the 80s issues too.

I may have a look at these. I've always had a soft spot for Dan Dare.

I *think* my set of Scream is complete. There were only 15 issues so it's not out of the question I could scan them in.

There were 15 issues and, according to a Demonoid-poster, 5 summer bumper editions. Don't go out your way Doctor. I'll lead uTorrent running and see if someone with the link turns on their computer or something.

I'm sure I remember the summer editions. Didn't they used to do them for The Bash Street Kids and Beano and that? Man alive, those were the days. I bloody loved Scream most of all though. It's the single reason why I would sit in the classroom drawing violent horror comics. I do wonder why I never pursued a career in art and design instead of the thing that I do.

I found this with a quick Google search, but it looks fairly good. Pretty small, but readable.

If you Google for "Comic Private Tracker" you will find a few places (links all blocked by work)

Most of them require some hoops to jump through to join though, evidence of good sharing ratios as well as interviews in MIRC.
