“Hot Shot” Hamish was a gigantic (6 foot 10 inches tall) footballer from one of the Hebrides islands off the coast of Scotland who became a footballer renouned for his “hot shot,” a kick that sent a football flying so hard it would rip the net and break the goalposts.
Hot Shot Hamish debuted in Scorcher’s August 25th 1973 issue. Created by writer Fred Baker and usually illustrated by Julio Schiaffino. When Scorcher was cancelled and merged into Tiger, Hot Shot was one of the characters who transferred over to the new title, where he remained a constant fixture for over a decade until Tiger was finally cancelled and merged into Eagle.
Unlike other strips, Hot Shot was neither cancelled nor moved to Eagle; instead, he
shifted over to Roy of the Rovers, a football-themed comic built around a
popular character whose strip had also originated in Tiger, where he joined an
existing strip, Mighty Mouse, about the short, overweight and bespectacled, but
nevertheless incredibly skillful footballer Kevin “Mighty” Mouse; while the
strip was retitled Hot Shot Hamish and Mighty Mouse (and later just Hamish and
Mouse), within the context of the story the two footballers met and befriended
one another and ended up becoming teammates. The combined strip ran from 1985 to
May 1990, skipped June, and then continued from July 1990 to January 1993,
shortly before Roy of the Rovers was cancelled.
