Welcome on this blog full of information about British comics and offcourse the comics.
A British comic is a periodical published in the United Kingdom that contains comic strips. It is generally referred to as a comic or a comic magazine, and historically as a comic paper.
British comics are usually comics anthologies which are typically aimed at children, and are published weekly, although some are also published on a fortnightly or monthly schedule. The top three longest-running comics in the world, The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.
You can access the information and comics through the sidebar.
The comics are mostly in packages from around 100mb, inside these rar-packages you will find the comics in cbr format.
There are no DC Thomson related comics on the site, because i had to remove these.
You can view the comics with any cbr-reader like CDisplay or ComicRack.
Most comics are from the 50’s-80’s with some 90’s.
I only place issues from last century,
so no issues newer than the year 1999.
I did not scan the comics myself only collect them from various sites on the internet, internet archive, Usenet Newsgroups and torrents.
So thanks to all the scanners and uploaders.
This blog is purely ment to preserve the comics and to enjoy them, no financial meanings are involved, if you like the comics buy them as long as they are availabe, because nothing can beat the feeling of reading a real comic.
If you find something wrong (downloads, numbering, information) please let me know so that i can correct the error.
Thanks to the following sites for the information :
Hello, i have a little announcement to make.
I was used to have a summerbreak each year june-august, to visit festivals and other events, go riding my bicycle, go walking and other things to do outside. Because all the restrictions with Covid, i canceled these breaks a few year. But since everything is back to “normal” i am planning a break again this year. Meaning there will be no update june-august, the last before the break will be this month and the next somewhere in september. I will still be watching the blog, make some changes and update a few pages, whenever i find some time. You can leave links in the comments like you are used to, i will be downloading these but not process and prepare them, i will save them for the 1st update after the break.

Isn’t it nice when life can start to return to normal (presuming there is such a thing). Have a good break. Always a good thing when you can recharge with some time off. And if anyone complains about you taking the time off just shoot them. World will be better off that way.

Thanks, that’s just my idea, taking some more time for other things to enjoy also, especially in the summertime.

The Kinema Comic
https://www.mediafire.com/file/0cfjf6k5z1deifl/KinemaComic.zip/file
*1 issue
*2 partials found on the Web, credit to the original scanners
From a modern perspective with its weird name and forgotten cast Kinema Comic has always looked a bit like a B-list Film Fun. However part of that is through FF lucking on to some of the few silent film comedy stars who still get modern appreciation (Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd); the likes of Louise Fazenda, Ford Sterling and Harry Langdon were hugely popular in the 1920s.The comic also chose Fatty Arbuckle as its initial cover star, but he abruptly disappeared when the Virginia Rappe thing hit the news.
Like Film Fun, George “Bill” Wakefield designed the characters and the other artists (which included Tom Radford and Alex Akerbladh) were instructed to closely follow his style by the editor, fat chainsmoking lunatic Fred Cordwell.
Reputedly the titles were level pegging sales-wise until Film Fun started running Laurel and Hardy. This saw FF become AP’s killer title (between 600k and 800k have been quoted as the regular readership in a hyper-competitive market) but at the expense of cannibalising KC’s readership.
Perhaps the title’s biggest legacy was the detective Jack Keen, who had been devised by Alfred Edgar in 1930. Edgar stopped writing for the character after the merger, and went on to have a successful career as a playwright and screenwriter under the pen name Barre Lyndon (which included Cecil B DeMille’s The Greatest Show on Earth and the George Pal War of the Worlds). Cordwell then took over, reputedly writing whole stories on his lunchbreak. After Fred died in 1949 of being a fat chainsmoking lunatic, successors Phil Davis and Jack Le Grand were the main writers until the feature ended in 1959.

Between 7 and 9 Girls Crystal’s, depending on how you count – one is a rescan and one is a double but I kept forgetting which so as I’d already bought, scanned and processed it I’ve just left it in there.

Thank you Boombox, but it’s not a big deal when i have to put a few hours more in preparing an update. I usually do it whenever i find some time, it’s not that i prepare the update in 1 day. 1 hour here and 1 hour there sometimes more depending on things like the weather outside. Most time consuming is preparing covers and copy links from the uploads and paste them in the right place in the textfile for the update. I think i’ll finish this weekend sorting things out and upload and prepare next week for the last update before my summerbreak.
