It should have ended in 1991, rather than turning into the THING that was Eagle Monthly. However I do agree that the Eagle and Tiger merger acquired, for a short time, that rather commodity in comic mergers: equality. Yes the Tiger logo got smaller in early 1986 and was gone altogether before half the year was out, but this (along with Hotshot Hamish turning up in Roy of the Rovers also on 6/4/85) was unusual treatment indeed for a fallen title. Perhaps someone thought that as a comic that had survived thirty years, Tiger deserved some respect – and they were right.STEPHEN ARCHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891283612737580789noreply@blogger.com
