Snogga Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Here's a biggie! When I was a nipper I used to read two comics; I think one was The Tiger - the other I can't remember. Anyway, one of them carried a weekly speedway story. Can anyone remember? Anyone got any copies? I'd be interested to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Now here is a man after my own heart-don't know the answer to your question-but it could have been "Lion"(companion to Tiger)-or perhaps Wizard, Rover, Hotspur. There is a British Comics Home Page-think you can get to it by entering Rover Comic and links will take you there-extracts of old stories etc etc. I was beginning to think I was the only one on this forum who remembered this 50's 60's period-as stuff on the 70's is after my time.Think I will start a new thread on one of the riders of that period to get evryone's brain going again!!!!!!!!!!!

Wessex Wanderer Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 There was one in the Tiger about this time. It was about "Ace" Lester and the Beldon Aces. There has been a recent thread on the same subject so you can probably find it in the archives. Great times. Great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussex bulldog Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for those memories folks. I remember we had cigarette cards with speedway riders on them at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBBATH Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Ah! The Beano with Biffo the Bear on the front, Lord Snooty and his Pals, Bash Street Kids. The Dandy with Korky the cat and on the back Desperate Dan who used to eat cow pie with two horns sticking out of the crust. Always thought The Eagle was a bit posh-but liked Dan Dare and his arch enemy "The Mekon" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
