British Update: First Quenchers with Free Gift Farrago: Score ‘n’ Roar – #1 FN with VF/NM Free Gift
*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’. This copy of Score n’ Roar is an attractive FN, with the original Free Gift – Football League Tables 1970-1971 – VF/NM, not punched out or assembled. Comic and gift together available for £80. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
