The Rovers Return: The Official Coronation Street Companion

Product Information

The best comic strips from the golden age of Roy of the Rovers. 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. Following on from the optimism of the sixties, the country faced a decade of strikes and power cuts. His other 2000 AD work includes Dan Dare, Mean Arena and The Mind of Wolfie Smith. The seventies was a very turbulent time in Britain. 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. Tom Tully is a comics writer best known for producing action and sports stories, the most notable being his long-serving stint on the Roy of The Rovers strip and his work on Steel Claw and Return of The Claw for Valiant.
