Had that comic for years and planned to have the page framed but mums being mums, cleared out the loft and that comic with it! Roy of the Rovers became synonymous with the Tiger comic and during the 1960's Tiger had a circulation of over 300,000 copies. The exhibition includes artwork from the 19th century, through early classics such as ‘Roy of the Rovers’ and on to the modern day artists shaping the future of football artwork.philcom55 wrote:This is the version of Roy of the Rovers Monthly that picked up where Roy's weekly title left off when it's star lost his foot in a tragic helicopter crash.
