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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    Hi – Thanks so much for these
    In Winzip I get the following message when I try to open the Playhour versions for 1974, 75, & 76
    Cannot open file ‘Playhour 1974-05-04.cbr’. It does not appear to be a valid archive.
    Is there an alternative way of opening these please?

      This means there’s now a complete run of the early John Burns strip ‘Kelpie the Boy Wizard’ available on here.

      Many thanks and Happy Christmas!

      Thank you Rob
      i don’t mean this as a criticism, i am very grateful to see these, i am just wondering why parts of the pages are cut off. At first i thought the comics were too big for your scanner but i noticed issue 33, which you may have forgot to edit, has full uncut pages.
      thank you Katie, i am not a huge fan of ‘funny’ comics but your John Burns comment made me explore these, and they are fantastic

        Hi John, some were my scans and others i picked up from other contacts so that probably explains the inconsistency in scans.
        I would love to be able to post better scans but when it comes down to posting a slightly cut off scan or none at all i went for the former – until someone can come up with an upgrade.
        Regards
        Rob

      Issues 1-36 of ‘Wham!’ (1964/1965), two bw pages per issue. There’s also a 6 part strip in one of the Wham! Annuals but I can’t recall which one off the top of my head.

      The first 12 episodes were also reprinted with abridgements in one of the Buster Specials of the early 1970s.

    Once Upon a Time annuals:
    Having scanned all of the magazines, I thought I’d have a crack at the annuals as well. I’ve now got the 1970 and 1972 annuals and wonder if any of you have the others. That’s 1971, and 1973, 1974 & 1975. If you have, and can scan them, fine. If you don’t scan, would you mind lending them to me for that purpose. No harm in asking!
