A Horse Called Ugly - Tiger Annual 1975

I always loved one off special complete stories in Summer Specials and Annuals. This one in particular stood out for its hilarious title and brilliant artwork - lots of fine detail and grey wash. The final speech bubble had me doubled over with laughter. Enjoy!

Score 'N' Roar - Issue 1 - 19th September 1970

Here we look back at the very first Issue of Score 'N' Roar , the 2 in 1 football comic from IPC / Fleetway which came out in the pre - decimal days of 1970 when pence was spelt with a letter " d ".
