Shiner (Comic Character)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shiner was a fictional character who had his own comic strip in the UK comic Whizzer and Chips. Shiner was the leader of the "Chip-ites" in the comic which was divided into two sections made up of "Whizz-kids" and "Chip-ites". Shiner was an amateur boxer who was constantly getting in trouble with his mum who disapproved of this activity. He usually ended up getting a black eye in each issue, hence his name.
