Collects Red Menace #1-6.
*Los Angeles, 1953 -- where the glamour and wealth of Hollywood and Beverly Hills collide with the crime and grit of Chinatown, Central Avenue, and the barrios of Chavez Ravine.
HUAC's notorious Red hunter Senator Joe McCarthy and his merciless chief counsel Roy Cohen have subpoenaed the City of Angels' own two-fisted superhero -- the Eagle. Revealed under the mask is Steve Tremaine, dedicated father and war hero.
Tremaine wants nothing more than to protect his town. But his friendship with Soviet crimefighter the Bear brands the stunned Tremaine a Communist, a "Red menace." Should the Eagle continue his "vigilante actions," he'll be arrested and jailed.
Despite the efforts of his headstrong daughter Helen, Tremaine spirals into drink and depression. Without its champion, Los Angeles becomes a gangster's paradise. But, with a FBI team of "reformed" meta-humans led by an ex-Nazi intelligence officer keeping watch, the Eagle is caged.
The unlikely answer is Grey Falcon, AKA Tommy Woods, a young delivery man with unstable telekinetic powers who idolizes Tremaine. The Eagle and his untested ally soon discover the enemy's true nature, and a threat infinitely more lethal than a mob war! *Source: Back Cover
