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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    More than half of the School Friend issues I have are from 1953, and here they are: –

    I think there’s a couple of upgrades and maybe a “wasn’t paying attention and scanned an issue we have” in there.

    The balance of the fifties School Friend I have, including a stark illustration of why “issue number” and “number of issues” are not the same thing… Genuinely think most of the figures on the net for this sort of thing are inaccurate.

    Thanks for the latest update, but it appears to be missing School Friend 1950 Annual that was uploaded on May 19th?

    Best wishes,

    Not sure where this one would go, or even if it’s suitable. Webfind of Jane’s Journal 1946, with several ‘figure studies’ of Chrystabel Leighton-Porter alongside the cartoons.

    hi Boutje, I noticed in the ‘Newspaper Comic Strips’ section that “Buck Rdgers” hassle “TV TOPS” compilations from 1982 to 1984. I cannot find any “TV TOPS”. Regards Bosco.

      I can’t see anything in relation to compilations or TV Tops at the page from Buck Rogers at the newspaperblog, only separate stories, however this page is very unorganized so perhaps i am missing something.

        Apologies Boutje, I must have had a Senior moment, or cross Eyed!!! I meant ‘Buck Rogers’ in ‘Space SF and Fantasy’. Update of 02-11-2019. Compilations from Look & Learn and TV Top magazine. I cold not find any TV Top anywhere, and I was wandering if uploader has any of these to upload to site. Kind Regards, Bosco.

      The Tops Buck Rogers compilations are here:

      These are from Tops (aka TV Tops), the second of two UK comics to run original strips based on the 1979 TV series, rather than on the original newspaper strip.

      Tops was a DC Thomson publication so individual issues won’t appear on this site. (The other UK comic to run a Buck Rogers in the 25th Century strip was Look In, which featured art by Arthur Ranson and John Burns, among others.)

    Maybe useful for desktop users only. The following thing can happen with downloading from Mediafire. I usually open a link in a new tab and leave the other page open. But the last weeks when i do this the downloadpage is blank sometimes for whatever reason. But when i just click the links to open the page, not in a new tab, the download do appears. Thanks to Ar who pointed this out to me.
