Here you can find the larger titles that were published for several years, sometimes even decades.
Click on one of the links which will lead you to the downloadpage for that period (opens in a new window).
You can close that window when you are finished and you will be back on this page for the other titles.
Didn’t you say this was going to take awhile.

He’s talking titles that were published for a long time and thus have a lot of issues. Lion was published for about 20 years for instance, which means over a thousand issues. Tiger was published a lot longer than that.

I feel sorry for Boutje as this keeps coming up. Unfortunately anything that was published by DC Thompson is not allowed on this site due to a legal order that they got forbidding that material from being here. I know it is the pits but such is life.

Would ‘Monster Fun’ fall into that category of DC Thompson?
Also, did the UK publish a Popeye comic or annual?

Wish there were digital versions of the Victor annuals. They were fantastic.
Would love digital copies of Striker by Pete Nash.

Oh yeah I’d seen from earlier comments. Was they ever on this site? Actually I’m not sure I’d want to know🤣 As finding out I’d missed the bus may be even worse.
On a side note is anyone familiar with an annual called Score? It was a book of football related stories and had a couple of recurring characters. One being a Goalkeeper called Peter the Cat. Would love to read those again.

Looked it up on the GCD and the Score Annual came out from 1973 to 1984. There was a annual for 1972 titled Score ‘n’ Roar Annual. This was the original title of the weekly comic. It got shortened to Score when it merged with Scorcher to form Scorcher and Score in 1971. In 1974 that comic got merged with Tiger to form Tiger and Scorcher, with the name Score being dropped entirely. I hopefull haven’t provided already known details with this.

Hi Boutje
Hope you are doing well. I was looking at Characters on the International Catalog of Superheroes and came across a character called the Amazing Mr X. It is listed as starting in Dandy # 272 through # 286. August 5 1944. But when I search that issue on libgen it is cartoon strips from 2008. I was wondering if you or any of your fellow historians could help me out?
Thanks and take care

There was a feature in early issues of Lion titled the Amazing Adventures of Mr. X though it seems to be text stories. I am pretty sure it also ran later in the sixties as a comic series. I am using Grand Comic Database to research and as usual with British comics the indexing is somewhat spotty.

Okay, I thought to consult the Fleetway Companion. The comic feature The Amazing Adventures of Mr. X ran from August 23rd, 1958 to October, 17th 1959. It was then reprinted in the issues that ran from August 14th, 1965 to December 4thm 1965. Prior to the comic strip it had been a series of text stories. I hope all this helps. By the way, somewhere on this blog there is a copy of the Fleetway Companion for downloading. It is well worth having as a reference work, especially as it seems to be out of print.
