British Update: First Quenchers Plus: Score ‘n’ Roar – Football Frolics from 1970
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Following the success of 1969’s Whizzer & Chips launch, the USP of ‘two comics in one!’ with an inbuilt rivalry proved so popular that publishers IPC/Fleetway went back to the well with Score ‘n’ Roar, two football comics in one – neither of which had existed previously as an independent entity. The rivalry aspect was provided by brothers, ‘Jack of United’ and ‘Jimmy of City’, who played for opposing teams – and in rival halves of the comic! Other strips included young prodigy goalie ‘Peter the Cat’, supernatural striker ‘Phantom of the Forest’ and obligatory comedy team of ne’er-do-wells, ‘The Mudlarks’. We have acquired the first four issues of this popular but less frequently seen series back in stock, all in Fine condition. Issue #1 is £45; #2 & #3 are £20 each. For the rest of our Score ‘n’ Roar stock, please see our online catalogue. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
