Roy of the Rovers (Roy Race) is a character that first appeared in Tiger comic (11 September 1954) which got his own spin-off series lasting 872 issues. Started in the Tiger comic newspaper style A4 paper and then 1990's issues were full colour glossy magazine format.
Roy of the Rovers had colour front and rear covers and colour centre pages. If the back page is not colour, then it's been removed. Also check all centre pages and flip through issues for cut outs.
There were a lot of quizzes and on some issus some bright spark at IPC decided to add a rating triangle at the bottom of each page so the reading could add a score. Some collections are therefore just full of internal writting.
Like Tiger, there are a lot of booklets, were you cut out pages from 4 or more concecutive issues to form a booklet. A nightmare for collectors.
