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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

















So hopefully, here’s a post that will brighten your mood and get us all reminiscing! How about sharing your memories of FREE GIFTS with comics? What was your favourite?
For me, the date was probable March 1984 when the first issue of Scream appeared and stuck to the cover was a pair of fangs! Basically, cheap, uncomfortable, plastic teeth to put into your mouth to pretend your a vampire. Probably would never happen these days because of health and safety…haha! But I loved them! I would have been 12 years old at the time, and just loved wearing them in school or around the house, trying to shock people!
I also remember a ‘spud gun’ that came with issue 1 of Buddy in 1982. On the cover it was called a ‘pop pistol’ but for us, it was a spud gun! You could push it into a potato to ‘load’ it, and shoot bits of potato at people!
Actually, I’ve just remembered the frisbee ‘space spinner’ which came with the relaunch of The Eagle in 1982 too. That was actually a pretty decent frisbee considering it was free, and I remember having loads of fun with that. I could get that up in the sky a fair distance!
Anyway, over to you!

Living in Canada those free gifts weren’t usually available to us. Their were exceptions those. The free league ladders and tabs with team names on them that came every year with one of the soccer magazines is one. As far as comics go the only one I can recall was a booklet and stamps for it of soccer stars.As far as I know I still have it, over fifty years later.

Oh yeah. That item came with Lion after they had started running the Carson’s Cubs feature, which my introduction to Soccer, a sport I have followed since. Come to think of it, by that time I had a subscription so maybe that is why I got the gift. Most of my other British comics have been purchased from one source or anther.

Although ‘The Wizard’ was never one of my favourite comics, they had some very good football free gifts. One of the best was a 16 page booklet called ‘The Team That Won The World Cup’ in 1970. I kept that for years, long after all of the comics had gone.

Ha Ha! Excellent. I remember all the free gifts you mentioned. Loved ’em. It was a real treat when a comic had a free gift. Back then the first three issues of a new British weekly usually had something free for the first two or three issues. The next issue of Eagle after the spinner you mentioned had a gold plastic eagle badge. Other stand out free gifts were the red space spinner free with 2000ad No.1 and a red triple pronged boomerang type spinner with Tornado No.1. Other free gifts I remember are Biotronic stickers and a Mach 1 cardboard code wallet (2000ad), dogtags and British military medal foil stickers and album (Warlord), bullet necklace (Victor), a ‘Plug’ glow in the dark cardboard mask (one of the DC funny comics but not the Beano, despite Plug Being a Beano character so must have been a new spin off comic) and I’m sure I got another spud gun free with Victor or ‘The Crunch’ as well. There were many others over the years as well. Like I say they were simply great and really brightened up a childhood. Simple pleasures!

The free gifts were always a pleasure to recieve… There were many I remember. The Whiz Bang cracker thing, the cardboard Guy Fawkes mask etc. but the strangest item appeared in 1972.. The Powder of Life!!! Just mix with water and blow air through a straw (not suck like I, accidently, did) and alien creatures which would, eventually, go to the moon would be born ready for issue two of the Target Comic’s free gift of food to feed your little creatures.
I, now, know that these were the Sea Monkeys advertised in many American comics at the time but they sure didn’t look like those, as depicted, to me.
I think, within the fortnight, they were tipped down the sink and never got to the moon!!!

Thanks very much for the Whoopee Holiday Specials, nice to see them, but FYI:
In the 1978 Special: p16 and p49 are the wrong way round.
In the 1979 Special: p49 and p50 are the wrong way round, there are 2 p56s, and p66 and p67 are actually p22 and p23.
I hope this helps.
