British Comics Update: Put A Tiger In Your Tank: 1957
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: 9 issues of the long-lived Boys’ weekly Tiger, all tabloid-sized from the less common year of 1957, fresh in this week. Throughout its history, Tiger (original home to Roy of the Rovers) always had strong sporting associations and indeed in later decades, virtually became a comic of sport-related strips, but here in 1957, Roy and other sporting stars rubbed shoulders with war and adventure strips and indeed it is the first appearance of Olac the Gladiator that is our featured issue in this selection that runs between #160 and #169 (September to November). Lowish grades on these, but all perfectly readable.
