British Update: Long Hot Summer: Tiger Holiday Specials, From the First
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Curiously, for a series which started in the late 1950s, it’s remarkable that it wasn’t until 1971 that the home of Roy of the Rovers, Johnny Cougar, Skid Solo and Martin’s Marvellous Mini (a car, not a skirt, lest you be puzzled) got its own extra-large summer edition, but in 1971, just as the weekly transitioned from a general adventure weekly to an all-sports comic, the first Tiger Holiday Special emerged, with its sporting superstars firmly to the fore. We have three high-grade early Tiger Holiday Specials in excellent grades, beginning with that first from 1971, VF £40, and joined by 1972 FN/VF £27.50 and 1975 (a Roy/Skid/Johnny/Martin crossover epic – and you thought ‘Secret Wars’ and ‘Crisis On Infinite Earths’ did it first…) in VF £30. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
