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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

      BEM was a sci-fi term for Bug-Eyed Monster. I have one issue of the magazine in my library but I don’t recall it was short for anything. Unfortunately the magazine is in storage right now so I can’t get at it.

      I always thought BEM stood for Bug Eyed Monster, When I first saw it I thought it was a sci-fi fanzine.

            The Lion issues from 1956 which you have mentioned in your post do not exist.
            Lion 213-217 is a single issue dated March 17 to April 14, 1956.

            I noticed that you did not mention any missing issues from the year 1960. Can I ask if you have a complete 1960?

      Thanks, you did upload it earlier indeed. Not always the mainpage of the titles is up to date, most of the time i update the titlepages later with the latest updates.
