<P> The Roy of the Rovers comic was launched as a weekly on 25 September 1976 , named after the established comic strip of the same name that first appeared as weekly feature in the Tiger on 11 September 1954 . The title ran for 853 issues , until 20 March 1993 ( industrial action prevented publication of 3 issues in December 1978 and a further 5 in May and June 1980 ) , and included other football strips and features . In February 1989 , the comic merged with the similarly themed Hot Shot , and was known for a brief time as Roy of the Rovers and Hot Shot , but reverted to its original title shortly afterwards . </P>
