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world, The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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 :

There are hopes to see here something of the Super detective library? Rick Random was one of the myths of my childhood, in Italy (the other was Dan Dare). I would love also to recover the daily strip Buck Ryan, in my opinion, a true masterpiece. Anyway, thanks for your great work!

I am afraid from the Super Detective Library i only have issue 14 with the story Invaders from space with Rod Collins and issue 125 with the story Blackshirt’s Jungle Adventure. If you like i can leave the link to download them in the reply.
From Buck Ryan i don’t have anything yet, i will keep my eyes open for them.

Oh, thanks! I’m interested in all the issues of SDL. And issue 14 was translated in the first issue of “Avventure di domani” published 5 january 1957, a fortnightly magazine which was the italian version of the French “”Aventures de demain”, which offered sf comics taken from SDL and also, I believe, from “Tit-Bits Comics” a monthly comic book written and drawn by Ron Turner.

Nice to see your new blogs, Boutje! I have a nice collection of older comics/magazines thanks to various incarnations of your comics blogs starting with the awesome Comics World, so thank you very much for all your work.
I am looking forward to your jungle comics blog. When I was a kid in Finland in the sixties I loved comics, including several translated Italian comics such as Pecos Bill, Captain Miki, and Akim. Recently I found a collection of Dutch Akim comics on bit torrent. I don’t understand the text but the pictures still bring back many memories.
Thanks again, I hope your blogs will be around for a long time!

There are really some connections, (at least few Buck Ryan and The Saint, if I remember correctly). But I think they are the smallest part of the lot. May be it’s better a new blog.

Hi, I’m looking for some Rick Random stories published in the UK. Do you have any of those, by any chance? Thanks for the effort of putting together this blog, by the way!
LikeLike
I am afraid not, many of his stories were in the Super Detective Library and i don’t have many of those. I know 1 story that’s in Buster Book 1962 that is on this blog. He was renamed Dick Brando for the occasion.
Buster Picture Library and Valiant Picture Library (in his Valiant appearances, he was renamed Nick Martin), as well as the Super Picture Special 1969 are also stories. I will keep my eyes open for them.

Here some other reprints:Thestory S.O.S from Space was reprinted in the 1978 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special,after which Rick was revived for a new story, Riddle of the AstralAssassin by Steve Moore and Ron Turner in 2000 AD progs113 to 118 in1979.
Nofurther new stories appeared, but more reprints followed in the Dan Dare Annual 1979 and in the Space PictureLibrary Holiday Specials for 1980 and 1981 (in these last two,he was renamed Dair Avalon).

Thank you both so much for your help. I think the story I’m looking for is ‘Rick Random and the Mystery of the Robot World’ (SDL 137, Oct 1958). Do you know of any magazine where it may have been reprinted? I think it might have been reprinted in French in Aventures de Demain!.., but I’m not sure.

About Aventures de demain, here you can find all the information:

Rick Random in France appeared also in these publications:
Astrotomic N° 7 à 10 : Périlleuse mission 30 pl. (Août 1959) (Rick Random’s perilous mission in Super Detective Library #129) ;
Météor (2e série) Spécial (Octobre 1967) : Les Pirates du Cosmos (Rick Random and the space pirates in Super Detective Library #127) (Ron Turner) ;
Aventures Fiction (2e série) N° 22 (Septembre 1971) : Mission périlleuse 64 pl. (Ron Turner) (Rick Random’s perilous mission in Super Detective Library #129) ;
Atome Kid (PF) N°6 : Le trésor du cosmos;
N°8 : Rick Random et la menace spatiale (Rick Random and the threat from space in Super Detective Library #153);
N°9 : Les chevaliers du ciel (Rick Random and the mystery of the knights of space in Super Detective Library #139);
Therefore, I am sure that the story you’re looking for has not been published in France. But it was reprinted in this volume, easier to find:

Christmas Comics Project
I am working on a Christmas comics project, my idea is to have as many special Christmas comic issues and issues with a Christmas story in it and make a special Christmas related comics blog later this year.
I allready have quite a few but i am asking everyone who is interested, and know of a Christmas related comic that is not on the list, to share it, so i can try to find it, better yet, if you know the link to it.
My list is under information on the left.

This is a fantastic site.
Occasionally I am unable to load a comic into CDisplay due to the checksum error in the SFV file. I end up unzipping the comic, deleting the SFV file, then re-zipping. Is this the best way to handle this problem, or is there a better solution?
Anyway, keep up the good work.
This blog is the best source for British Comics I have ever found.

Thanks.
I can’t say i ever ran into this error. The programs i use are CDisplay Ex and ComicRack, they give errors sometimes but that has mostly to do with the differences between cbz and cbr.
Let me try to explain, when you zip files into a comic it can be rar or zip, with renaming to cbz or cbr the following must be kept in mind, when it’s a zip you have to use cbz as extension and when it’s rar you have to use cbr otherwise the comics won’t open with most comicreaders. So if a comic won’t open for me, i check the extension and change it into cbr or cbz depending what is was, and most of the time the problem is fixed.
