Whether it’s the Melchester team getting to test their skills against the finest teams in Europe, reuniting legends such as Hot-Shot Hamish, Gerry Holloway, Johnny Dexter and keeper Charlie ‘The Cat’ Carter for a special five-a-side tournament, or Roy and Rocky trying to see out lockdown without driving each under up the wall, there’s plenty to cheer thanks to creators such as Tom Palmer (Roy of the Rovers fiction), Rob Williams (Suicide Squad), Elkys Nova (Tammy & Jinty Special) and David Sque!

The best comic strips from the golden age of Roy of the Rovers.
The seventies was a very turbulent time in Britain. Following on from the optimism of the sixties, the country faced a decade of strikes and power cuts. Luckily for the fans of Melchester Rovers, Roy Race and his loyal time mates provided great moments of glory for their fans, starting with European Cup final win in 1973 in the year that the club celebrated its 50th anniversary.
It was the decade in which footballers became real superstars a time when Melchester goalkeeper Charlie Carter had to choose between staying at the club or perusing a burgeoning career as a pop singer. And it was a period when Roy Race truly cemented himself as the heart, soul and brain of the club by taking on the role of player manager.

The earliest adventures from one of 2000 AD’s greatest series –
Strontium Dog – is now reprinted in colour for the first time in
decades. Reprinted with its original colour pages, Strontium Dog: Search
and Destroy is a sumptuous 144-page hardcover collecting the origins of
John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s hard-hitting story of prejudice and
violence.
The 210 x 276mm book, with a new introduction by co-creator John Wagner, feature gorgeous artwork by Ezquerra, along with Brendan McCarthy, and Ian Gibson.

Originally published in Starlord, 2000 AD’s sister comic, the strip transferred to 2000 AD and remains one of the most iconic strips in the history of British comics.
