"The Eagle Awards are to continue into 2013, according to co-owner Cassandra Conroy. The prestigious ceremony has been part of British comic culture since 1977, but it was announced at this year&amp;#039;s London MCM Expo that they will be making way for the MCM Awards. MCM managing director Bryan Cooney closed this year&amp;#039;s awards by revealing the news, but Conroy has since claimed that the organisation is not in a position to decide the future of the Eagles, despite holding partial ownership. &amp;quot;To paraphrase Mark Twain: The reports of the Eagles&amp;#039; death have been greatly exaggerated,&amp;quot; said Conroy, whose father Mike co-founded the awards in 1977. &amp;quot;No third party can casually discard what my father has developed over the past 36 years. The Eagles will continue to soar into 2013 and beyond. We&amp;#039;ll be announcing further details of our plans for next year in the near future.&amp;quot; The Eagle Awards were presented annually between 1977 and the early 1990s, before being revived in 2000. They moved to the MCM Expo in 2010. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
