BIDDING IN PROGRESS
OPENING BID
a collection of Tiger and Scorcher comics dating from 1980. This was a legendary British sports comic that was very popular in South Africa during that era.
Identification of the Collection
The issues shown in your photos are from a pivotal year for the publication. In 1980, the title officially shortened its name from Tiger and Scorcher to just Tiger. The comics you have feature several iconic British comic characters:
-
Johnny Cougar: The Native American wrestler (featured prominently on several of your covers).
-
Skid Solo: The formula one racing driver (seen on the 28th June issue).
-
Billy's Boots: A famous story about a boy who finds old football boots that give him the skills of a dead star.
-
Guest Stars: These issues often featured sports tips and articles from real-life legends like Geoff Boycott and Dickie Bird.
Condition: Your copies show some "foxing" (yellowing/spotting) and edge wear, which is typical for 45-year-old newsprint. Significant tears or missing pages (common in comics where kids cut out the posters) will drop the value.
Estimate Value: R350 - R600
