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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    I do like early Comet, there’s something endearing about a comic that looks like it was made up as they went along.

    Hi Boutje

      Thanks Tom
      Sometimes, the ones with 4 missing pages are hard to spot.

      This completist fanatic is asking if you can help with any of the following:

      Lion 243 [1956-10-13] – page 23 missing [text story page].
      Lion 444 [1960-10-08] – page 19 has some damage to left edge/corner [Best of the West].
      Lion 448 [1960-11-05] – page 18 has some damage to left edge [Sandy Dean’s Schooldays].
      Lion 661 [1964-12-05] – page 7/8 is creased [Zip Nolan].
      Lion 911 [1969-09-20] – missing one page (might be an ad/column).
      Lion 914 [1969-10-11] – missing one page from the Carson’s Cubs strip.
      Lion 1054[1972-09-16] – lower corner tear on page 39/40 [Mowser].

    2 of 2. A spin-off of Golden, which was meant to be another of AP’s new ‘colour’ weeklies like Jingles and Tip Top but had the misfortune to launch in 1937 and didn’t really have chance to build up a readership before WWII. As such it was (I think) the newest title to be clobbered by the post-fall of Norway-and-France 1940 paper rationing massacre, and was merged into Jingles.

    The two annuals are quite common but I’ve yet to see an issue of the weekly for sale, and it’s on my white whale list. WWII scrap drives probably didn’t help, though searching for “golden comic” on eBay is also a pain in the bum as it naturally brings up lots of generic American stuff.

    The Funny Wonder annuals are that rarest of things – annuals that aren’t as common as muck.Was able to nab this one within my no-more-than-a-tenner rules, though.

    One from the “Steve Carrell’s left but there’s money in this” phase. What strips there are are still good, though. Like Ellie Kemper.

  8. Also I found these in a big stack of unsorted stuff, not sure if they count or what, I think I thought they were compilations of the Eagle strip. Which they definitely aren’t.
