*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Truly iconic British comic characters are a select club, and Roy Race of Melchester Rovers is possibly the only footballing member. Debuting in the first issue of Tiger in 1954, Roy was so successful that he spun off into his own series in 1976 which lasted until 1993. New in this week, we have Roy’s own title, starting with the first issue (29/9/76), and most of the run from the subsequent 1970’s with 1976-1979 virtually complete and good selections from 1980 and 1981, with representations from 1982 and 1983. Included along the way are one Free Gift issue (22/8/81 with Roy badge, still taped to the cover), and the famous ‘Roy Race Shot’ issue (19/12/81).
