Football Picture Story Monthly

    (D.C. Thomson, 1986-2003)
™ and © DC Thomson & Co. Ltd.

Football (called “soccer” in the U.S.) is a worldwide sport enjoying the sort of prominence that baseball has in the United States. This comic, aimed at British youngsters, recaptures the excitement of a well-played match, along with the various maneuvers that go on behind the scenes, such as bidding wars for players, off-field rivalries, and the life struggles of the individual players. Drawn in the straightforward Thomson house style, it has enjoyed a consistent success for decades, although D.C. Thomson’s retail distribution chain makes it little-known in British comic shops, favoring the corner store instead.
