I remember the strip still going strong in Tiger during the mid-80's.

I won't bore you with the tragedy of selling my collection some years back but was reminded of Hot Shot Hamish who started out in 'Scorcher'.

By around 1984 his 'hot-shots' had become splendidly ludicrous (like a striker meets Captain Hurricane!) and I was wondering if yourself, or anyone following your blog might be able to rescue a few of those fine panels from an attic or somewhere...

I don't have any Hot-shot looking through the few Scorchers I have..

There is a book on Hsmish though with reprints which came out last year or so..

Yeah, I seem to recall flipping through it in Waterstone's and the strips being really early too.

By the mid-80s the 'Hot-shot'' had become something like one of Faceache's 'scrunges' - a wild cariciture with the goalie diving for cover, nets bursting etc

I really like Nipper and I have a question...
Did you may know who drew Nipper after Solano Lopez?
That would mean anyone who is drawing from the end of 1974.
Thanks in advance.
