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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

UK Comics Wiki

Grand Comics Database

    Just a reminder. I still see a lot of comments, most aren’t even public because the spambot keeps them from coming through (too much text or foul language), about not able to download files. I can’t help that, it can be caused by so many reasons, i suggest to note the errormessage, and do a search on the internet with this message, 9 out of 10 you will find useful information. Sometimes the server is overloaded because people are using downloadmanagers and accelerators and you just have to try later again. I can only do something when the message said link deleted or expired, all the other errors you have to find a solution for yourself, it’s nothing personal but when i have to respond to every comment “i can’t download” without even further information i am busy for half of the time i spend on my blogs with it.

    My mistake Timothy Claypole his real name was Michael Peter Staniforth

    Staniforth played Timothy Claypole from 1976, when the show first aired, until 1984, and was the longest-standing member of the cast.

    Claypole was a bearded medieval jester, dressed in motley and bells. He caused mayhem for the rest of the Rentaghost cast.

      I do not scan my comics, I actually screenshot them with my camera on iphone

      It does a good job too

      Of course I trim the edges of the screenshot so it only shows the comic pages

      Try it !

        I got an EPSON SX425W about a decade ago they were going for under £40, a good quality printer/scanner (and easy to ‘find’ inks for). It can’t scan extra-large pages or certre spreads though. Cameras aren’t really the way to preserve comics.

      Hi jb,

      Downloads fine on Windows PC.

      Once you click on the ‘download’ link it takes you to ‘Google Drive’
      Click on Download
      This should take you to another screen with ‘Google Drive can’t scan this file for viruses – File is too large’
      Click download again
      hopefully this downloads the RAR file the extract the comics.

      Hope this works.
