British Update: Long Hot Summer: Tiger Holiday Specials 1981-1985
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: It seems very odd typing the words ‘Long Hot Summer’ in the middle of a blizzard, but our celebration of British Summer Specials rolls on this week with a selection of Tiger Holiday Specials, complete from 1981 to 1985 in a variety of grades and prices (1984 pictured). Tiger proclaimed itself ‘the best for sport and adventure’ and indeed many of the specials had sporting themes, old favourites such as ‘Hot Shot Hamish’, ‘Billy’s Boots’, ‘Skid Solo’, ‘Nipper’ and others rubbing shoulders with humour strips and straight adventure such as ‘The Monster Of Man-Eater Reef’, as well as photo sports features. The Specials bowed out alongside the Tiger comic in 1985. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
