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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    That’s good to know. Some more information as follows :

    Later, in the 1970s, William Farmer became the costumed crime-fighter known as The Leopard From Lime Street. As one Fleetway boss told me (later confirmed by artist Mike Western) “Thomson had a schoolboy who fights crooks in a costume and if Billy the Cat was popular I was sure we could do better!”

    Yes, that is The Leopard From Lime Street reprinted in French -as were many other UK comic strip heroes!

    Interestingly, in the Billy The Cat series he was later to be hunted as a vigilante by authorities who did not like what he was doing. Likewise, The Leopard was also hunted down at one point. In fact, a number of British comic crime-fighters found themselves not just ducking the crooks out for revenge but also the very side they were fighting for!

    I just check the two books that I have, and it seems I made a mistake slightly in the title. It is not Jane Pond or Jane Bond, but it is actually called Jane Blond. Well they say Blonds are Dumb. Ha Ha.

    Princess Tina

    Princess Tina was a weekly British girls’ comic published by IPC, initially under the Fleetway banner. It was launched on 23 September 1967 by merging Princess and Tina. In 1973 the title was merged into Pink.
    Its last editor was John Wagner.
    Twelve hardcover Princess Tina annuals were published between 1968 and 1980 bearing the cover dates 1969-1981. Other hardcover annuals associated with the title were Princess Tina Ballet Book dated 1969 to 1977 and Princess Tina Pony Book from 1969 to 1981. Five annual saddle-stapled magazines were published as Princess Tina Summer Extra dated 1969 to 1974.

    It was in this comic that Jane Bond Secret Agent was Published in. Well, what do you know, there was a Jaqne Bond after all before movie. Ha ha. Anyway the Original artwork by Mike Hubbard of 28 pages is now ready for you, to please your adoring Fans.

    Princess Tina: Jane Bond — Secret Agent
    The name’s Bond — Miss Bond. Mum’s Own Annual (Fleetway Publications Ltd, 1993, pp23), in its whirlwind tour of girls comics of the fifties to the seventies, notes that Tina’s lead story was “Jane Bond”, an “international secret agent who looked like Jane from the Daily Mirror minus her stockings and suspender belt”. The reason for that was, of course, that they were both illustrated by the same person, Mike Hubbard, who drew Jane for the Daily Mirror from 1952 for about a decade and drew Jane Bond for Tina and Princess Tina between 1967 and 1970. Jane was obviously cheesecake but Jane Bond was not. Unlike Jane, the Jane Bond plots weren’t there just so that the heroine would get her kit off (well, the story when Jane Bond went to Brazil to investigate what a dastardly army of beautiful women were up to in the Jungle and she ended up being staked to the ground — well, that’s a Daily Mirror Jane story waiting to happen, that). Armed with suitable James Bond-style gadgetry–lipstick radios, explosive necklaces–Jane Bond tackled criminal masterminds with no-nonsense pluck and a fabulous wardrobe. The Irish Comics Wiki describes Hubbard as “an excellent draughtsman and excelled at the figure, particularly the female figure, and his colour work was both vivid and sensitive. He also excelled as a portrait painter, and was an expert in the history of architecture
