Comics
A British comic is a publication in the United Kingdom that consists of comic strips, simply known as comics. These anthologies are primarily targeted towards children and are typically released on a weekly basis, although some are published fortnightly or monthly. Some of the most well-known British comics include The Beano, The Dandy, Tiger, Roy of the Rovers, 2000AD and Warlord.
In 1954, Tiger comics introduced the widely popular football strip ‘Roy of the Rovers’, which followed the adventures of Roy Race at Melchester Rovers. The expression “real ‘Roy of the Rovers’ stuff” is frequently used in football commentary to describe exceptional displays of skill or unexpected outcomes. Roy was so beloved that in 1976 he was given his own standalone publication which ran for 17 years. Within these comics, readers can discover fully readable comics, complete stories, features, and articles.
