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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

Thanks for Lion 559. I made a typo and it should have read 550 to 559. So we still need 550-558 to finish off this period. I will be uploading more 1970 issues later. Was there any special requests that I may be able to assist you with?

Is that 73 visits for Canada the number of visits or the number of people who have visited? Even if the former I am sure I haven’t visited this site 73 times in a week so it is nice to know there are other Canadians coming here.

Many, Many thanks for such a brilliant site, and for all the Lion comics within.
May I make an observation, I believe and have noticed your numbering of (un-numbered) ‘Lion’ comics maybe wrong. out by 7 (seven) on most number from434 onwards, for example:
Your No, 303 maybe 308 (5 difference)
Your No. 434 maybe 441 (7 difference)
Your No. 404 maybe 411 ( 7 difference)
and so on up to end, giving a difference of 7 (seven) as far as I can see.
I have been confused when looking for any copies Numbers to Dates that I may have missed.
This is such a Brilliant site, long may you continue.
Will you be updating any additional copies please? I do not seem to be able to access filefactory & zippyshare. Has anyone got issue 2 (two) please?
Kind Regards……

There were a number of printing strikes (some lasted weeks) that prevented the publishing of Lion on a weekly basis.
These should be the correct publishing dates of the issues you mention:
303 7.12.1957
404 4.01.1960
434 30.07.1960
To the best of my knowledge Issue 2 has not been scanned.
Hope that helps.

I can download Mediafire ok.
