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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    Hi. I love this site for all the old comics and the hard work you put into it. I was wondering if you have the book MASTERS OF FUN AND THRILLS: THE BRITISH COMIC ARTISTS Vol1 by Norman Wright and David Ashford?

    Hello everybody.
    My name is Juan and I am a fan of comics from Spain. I discovered this blog a while ago and I have to congratulate you for your dedication and effort.
    I am very interested in the work that many Spanish and South American cartoonists (Ortíz, Bermejo, Ezquerra, Solano López, Zanotto… even Hugo Pratt, etc.) did for these British comics in the 60s, 70s and even the 80s. And I thought maybe someone could help me. Do you know of any books, magazines, websites, etc… that provide indexes of authors of magazines such as Lion, Eagle, 2000AD, etc.?
    Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Juan

      That could be ‘The Phantom Patrol’, which was originally published in Swift in 1962-63. There aren’t many issues of that on here, but the first two dozen or so episodes were reprinted as ‘The Ghost Patrol’ in early issues of Smash! and edited reprints appeared in early 2000AD and Starlord Annuals and Specials.

        Thanks to Kate I checked out Fandom and you can check out if it is the correct comic from the 2000ad page here based on its appearance issues.

        If it is Phantom/Ghost Patrol, you are lucky as it can be found fully reprinted in the following Smash page here. The Ghost Patrol1 (5 Feb. 1966)==>26 (30 July 1966).

          The Smash! reprints only cover the first six months or so. The original strip ran over a year. It looks like the 2000AD/Starlord reprints cover a lot of the remainder but there are still gaps and like all of these kind of reprints have lots of chopping and changing from the original: compare the Smash! issues with the reprints of early strips in 2000AD Summer Special Supercomic (1977) and 2000AD Annual 1979 to see what I mean.

          The annuals/specials with reprints are:

          2000AD Summer Special Supercomic (1977)
          2000AD Annual 1979
          2000AD Annual 1980
          2000AD Annual 1981
          Starlord Annual 1981

    Can anyone help and share issues of the British comics magazine ARK?
    I’m looking for all 33 issues.

      • Thank you very much for your answer and question!
        I meant another British publishing house.
        But I must note that the artbook from the Royal College of Art called ‘ARK: Words and Images from the Royal College of Art Magazine 1950-1978’ is an important part of British art design culture but cannot be found in digital format.
        I’m looking for issue 33 of the British Comics Magazine ‘ARK’.
        I could only find the release chronology here

    It seems that Smash! Holiday Special 1969 is the only Smash! comic missing from the site. Does anyone have a scan to upload, please? Thanks.
