The Amstor Computer

The Amstor Computer – a series of one-off stories in Eagle that started in issue 79 and ran until issue 149 – a total of 60 stories – far short of its promised one million!

To unlock the stories, Eagle readers had to write to the comic with a number between one and one million. The number chosen corresponds with a story in the computer’s databanks.

A selection of these stories were reprinted in the Best of Eagle Monthly issues 1, 5, 6 and also in later issues of Eagle.
