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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

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 :

Grand Comics Database

    Does someone has Comicrack with a working script “extract first page” ? I can’t seem to get it working again on my new desktop, i download comicrack and installed it and found the script but i can’t get that script running again. Also a sidequestion, has someone a running Paint Shop Pro 9, because i am so used to that program with making compilations, i can really use it with my eyes closed and is has so many useful scripts, but it’s not working again also.

      Hi Lee

      Thanks again.
      You and Gerry are spoiling us at the moment with your Marvel UK scans.

      However, I don’t know if it’s just me. I have noticed that most of your recent scans over the last 2-3 weeks won’t open with either CDisplay or ComicRack.

      With CDisplay I just get the following message:
      ‘This archive is not a valid Zip Archive’.

      Don’t worry. This is not a problem for me as I just unzip and then re-zip the scan; it then works fine. But, I thought you should know just in case others are having the same problem.

        I’m using 7-zip and archiving my scans as .CBZ files as opposed to .CBR files, Jacko.
        That may be the problem?

        Just unzip an re-zip (with whatever.RAR programme you use) as a .CBR, that should solve any problems hopefully?

          Yeah I’m doing the same thing as yourself, Lee. I open the files on Comicrack before posting just to check that they work. I’ve had no problems yet. But then again I’m not a whiz with computers.

        PS
        I just tried CDisplay ( http://www.cdisplay.me/ ) and it wouldn’t open my scans either (same message – ‘This archive is not a valid Zip Archive’.)

        I use CBR Reader myself and have no problems opening .CBZ files = https://www.cdisplayex.com/downloads

    I seem to have everything under control now with my new desktop and will try to prepare an update for somewhere midweek. Will take some more time with the covers now the script ” extract first page” don’t work anymore, but i survive, i hope, because there is another flood of corona, just under 200 positive tests 1 week ago, more than 10.000 today, so i will be spending most of the time inside my home.
