*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Having played for Melchester Rovers since 1954 in the pages of the Tiger weekly, Roy Race finally got his own spotlight with Roy of the Rovers weekly, in 1976. A huge success, his title lasted until 1993, and the character has enjoyed sporadic revivals since then. We have the first two issues of RoTR weekly new in stock: issue #1 is in Fine, with not only an exclusive article by the Duke of Edinburgh (devoid of controversial content, so presumably HRH was on his meds that day), but also the original free gift, a fold-out wallchart (unmarked and VF) on which you were supposed to follow your team’s seasonal progress. Issue #2 is also Fine with the free gift, but the gift – a do-it-yourself Supporter’s Rosette with adhesive letters – is only VG, having been filled out by a Fulham loyalist!
