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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    Somebody just shared some misc items which included a Spellbound comic with “Debbie Supercats”. Do you have anymore?

      That was me! The ‘Supercats’ compilation was just from the 15 issues of Debbie they appeared in after Spellbound was cancelled, but there’s a separate Supercats entry in the Spellbound section of the compilations site. I think this is complete though it might not include the original ‘Fabulous Four’ strips from Diana Annual that preceded it.

            Hello,
            Amazing blog. Many thanks to all the contributors and original scanners.
            Just wondered if anyone out there has scans of The Fantastic Adventures of Adam Ant from TVTops magazine from way back when ( this is the full coloured painted fantasy story not the black and white biographical one ).
            All the best and keep up the good work.

    I’m not sure this is the right place to ask, but I don’t think it would hurt and I haven’t had any luck mentioning it on other comics forums.

    My brother and I are trying to identify a comic strip that appeared in an annual he had in the 1980s. It was a football annual but probably not one tied to a football comic. There were, IIRC, two strips in it both about the same character.

    The premise was that the lead character was under a curse, having broken a gypsy’s crystal ball with a football, and no longer has the power of speech. The curse can only be lifted if he scores a hat-trick during a cup final (and the gypsy has also sportingly granted him top footballing skills to make this at least feasible).

    My brother has been trying to find out what this strip was for ages now without much success and I’ve been through various sections of this site on the off-chance it’s in there. So if anyone knows anything about it, could you let me know? Just a title (of the strip or the annual) would be helpful!

    P.S. It’s definitely NOT ‘Raven on the Wing’.

      It doesn’t ring any bells but It potentially could be Capper or Pickford which was a story about a gypsy footballer. This is the same story but named differently. Capper was in Scoop in the 80’s but I have looked through my annuals and it never made it into an annual.
      Pickford I’m pretty certain was in Hotspur or Victor in the 70s. I’m not sure about annuals though.

      • Kate H says:

        Thanks but I don’t think it’s either of those. I’ve seen enough Hotspur and Victor Annuals from the 1980s to know it wasn’t either of those. As I say, I’m fairly sure it was a football annual which had a couple of strips in rather than an annual based on a comic.

        I don’t know Scoop that well (though I don’t think it had any annuals – a bit moot anyway as it’s DC Thomson) but based on what I can see online of Capper it wouldn’t have been that. The main character in “my” strip is under a gypsy curse, not a gypsy himself!

        But thanks for the suggestions!

    To Kate H, is there any chance that you could re-upload the Debbie Supercat’s compilation. I missed the chance to download it when it was available before.

    Appealing to the collective knowledge of this group. Are John Tomlinson and Barrie Tomlinson related at all? I am curious to know but I have not been able to find out anywhere. Wikipedia was of absolutely no help in this matter. I have been cataloguing some of my issues of 2000 AD and John Tomlison is credited as the writer of Armoured Gideon. That’s what got me wondering.
