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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    Another great Matt Marriott. Believe it or not, this is the sixteenth adventure I’ve corrected, for a total of 1550 strips. The rest is on the way.

    Hi Boombox.

    As promised earlier.

    To the uploaders, Thank you for the Girls Crystals and June Books, appreciate the girl’s comics much more than I did when I was a kid.

    And a Sooty annual.

    Thank you

    Thanks everyone for all the recent uploads.

    I’ve shrunk the recently uploaded 458mb 1966 June Book to 135mb by decreasing the resolution, it’s here if anyone wants it:

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/0768azkkrdebygm/June+Annual+1966.cbz/file

    Also thanks for the recent Sooty annual, but I think it’s incorrectly labeled as the 1983 annual, when it’s actually the 1993 annual. Still loving it though.

    Best wishes,

    CF.

    CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED UK DR. NO

    I have boutje’s Dutch edition as well as my own scan of the Norwegian edition.

    There’s a BW scan (missing p19) of CI#171:

    And there’s a fake one:

    Is there a decent scan of Dr. No, UK CI#158A?

    Okay, after a fruitful few days working from home and in anticipation of not being around much for a few days, here’s an annual megapost.

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/nboqbums77nch6i/Penny_Annual_1980.cbz/file

    Penny 1980. Weird comic, no-one really seems to remember it despite it outliving some of IPC’s launches around that time. Seems to be another attempt at a Pixie-style nursery/girls inbetweener.

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/zzrmyt9ueifywj6/Princess_Tina_Annual_1981.cbz/file

    Princess Tina 1981, the last one published. Full of very weird production design decisions (random page tilting, 30s style black on colour) but weirdly printed photogravure cover to cover.

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/af86h7r6o8r03ly/Valentine_Annual_1974.cbz/filehttps://www.mediafire.com/file/gsdb83qcd4g0vya/Valentine_Annual_1975.cbz/filehttps://www.mediafire.com/file/3tb0ekh13yed47o/Valentine_Annual_1976.cbz/file

    Valentine Annuals, set I think, though there were a bunch of all-feature (?) Pop Specials in the sixties. Sadly far past its pomp and a Pink/Mirabelle clone at this stage, but what strips are there are top-tier.

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/jfkhkr46ze4gwpg/Jinty+Annual+1977.cbz/file

    Jinty 1977 rescan. That dead dog poem is basically the Tammy group mission statement.

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/6fyuy6xh0r8q50b/Jag_Annual_1973.cbz/file

    Set, though the first one is on my rescan pile.

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/mg61wwfcbkparhe/School_Friend_Annual_1951.cbz/file

    The comic had only launched months before so this is all text.

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/8a3uth8xd5tfscw/Tammy_Annual_1974.cbz/file

    I think that’s the set, though again a couple are on my rescan pile.

    Hi CF.

    Yes, the Sooty Annual was 93 & not 83, my mistake, typo error.
