Description
A wonderful piece of British sporting and comic-book history!
Published on 30 April 1977, this vintage edition of Roy of the Rovers follows the continuing adventures of legendary footballer Roy Race and his beloved Melchester Rovers.
The dramatic illustrated cover captures the excitement of a fiercely contested football match, with Melchester battling to protect their impressive unbeaten league record.
Originally launched as its own weekly comic in September 1976, Roy of the Rovers became one of Britain’s most recognisable sporting publications, combining fictional football adventures with the enthusiasm and atmosphere of the real game.
This early 1977 issue is particularly appealing to collectors of classic British comics, football memorabilia and the golden age of children’s weekly publications.
A nostalgic addition to any vintage football or comic collection.
Pages: 32

Mystery bags, bundles & older British comics
Mystery bags and bundles may include comics with markings or more noticeable wear. Older British comics sometimes have a customer’s name or address written in pen or pencil by a newsagent when reserving their copy. These period markings are part of some surviving copies; please check the listing rather than assuming every copy is unmarked.
You’re welcome to ask for more photos
Want a closer look at a spine, corner, back cover or handwritten marking? We welcome requests for extra photographs and condition details before you order. For mystery selections, we can explain the typical condition, although the exact contents may vary.
All comics are supplied bagged and boarded. Any specific condition notes in the listing take priority over this general guide.
