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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

  1. On the road for most of the next couple of weeks so not much chance for scanning and editing, so here’s a big bumper pile of stuff so I can remember where I’m up to.

    Missing the four-page centre spread, which looks like it was pictures of the Beatles and that nutcase out of Freddie and the Dreamers.

      I’ve tried to download some (admittedly not all) but the answer every time was “Something appears to be missing…

      The key you provided for file access was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on MediaFire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or MediaFire.”

        That usually happens when the files are deleted, and that is because i have download them so they are no longer needed, you have to wait until the next update, that’s what happens with almost all links in comments, they usually don’t last long.

      • Sorry, I don’t keep links active after Boutje has them. They will all be in a future update, so there’s no need.

    Stephen – may I say what a pleasure it is to have you on this group. You manage to keep adding to the missing scans on a very regular basis. I don’t know whether you’re patiently working through your own comic library or constantly scouring online retailers for new items, but whichever – thank you for constantly adding so many “lost” treasures !

      Thank you for your kind comments, it’s my own collection I’m scanning and I’m happy that it brings you pleasure.

      The next ones I’ll be uploading will be about 20 issues of The Best of Buster Monthly.

    Hi. Can anyone tell be how many “Tammy & Princess” Issues there were.

    What date was the first Tammy & Princess & what date was the last.

    TIA.

    • barryspencer2065 says:

      7th April 1984 was the first issue and “Princess” was dropped from the last published issue of Tammy, which was dated 23rd June 1984. So there were 11 issues of Tammy and Princess. The first issue of Princess itself was dated 23rd September 1983 and is unrelated to the 196’s Princess comic.

    Album/annual/special type thing of dubious parentage. Contains some of Norman Light’s Captain Future but also some stuff that isn’t quite as terrible.
