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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

    The nature of the comics work being created determines the number of people who work on its creation, with successful comic strips and comic books being produced through a studio system, in which an artist assembles a team of assistants to help create the work. However, works from independent companies, self-publishers, or those of a more personal nature can be produced by a single creator.

    The editor assembles a number of creators and oversees the work to publication.

    Any number of people can assist in the creation of a comic book in this way, from a plotter, a breakdown artist, a penciller, an inker, a scripter, a letterer, and a colorist, with some roles being performed by the same person.

    In contrast, a comic strip tends to be the work of a sole creator, usually termed a cartoonist. However, it is not unusual for a cartoonist to employ the studio method, particularly when a strip become successful.

    Doodle Doo Doodle Dum, so Hummed Disaster Des, however Frank forgets that he use to draw in cheeky weekly cartoons by Doodle Doug, a cartoon Character Cheeky use to get threaten to tell his Cheeky’s Dad about the secret of Cheeky seeing his Dad’s old Comics. So between Doodle Doug and Disaster Des with his Doodle Doo Doodle Dum,
    it was no match between them.

      Yes, i know about the Tiger, but i let that page for awhile because there are alot of new links for Tiger on that page so anyone can download these at their own pace.
      I am not going to use these in the next upload because they are all on the new Tiger pages.

    Doug was most regularly drawn by rival artist Frank McDiarmid (51 times), followed by Mike Lacey (17 times).

    Although Doodle Doug appeared in 87 issues of Cheeky Weekly, his doodles graced only 10 issues.

    Doug’s purpose in the early issues of Cheeky Weekly was to draw a short gag strip that he would show to Cheeky on Tuesdays (with the exception of the final Doodle to appear, which was located on a Saturday page). The gag strips were, with 2 exceptions, ‘silent’, consisting of 2 or 3 panels, and had no recurring characters. A pair of thumbs could be seen holding each of the Doodles. The Doodles appeared halfway down the page, apart from the final Doodle, which appeared at the top of the page containing a continuation of the Saturday feature.

    Doug’s brief run of Doodles came to an end in Cheeky Weekly dated 14 January 1978, when the Doodle was relegated to page 24, having previously appeared on pages 12, 13 or 14. Possibly going into hiding after this indignity, Doug seems to have disappeared from Krazy Town for 6 months, reappearing in the 08 July 1978 issue. However, on his return, Doug had a new artwork project, Paddywack.

    In early issues there was a running joke when Frank McDiarmid drew Doodle Doug, about Frank regarding Doug as a rival.

    Talking of Pain, Yikky-Boo! was such a pain in frightening everyone in the office at
    Ipc Magazines Ltd, at Kings Reach Tower Stamford Street. He made a lot of artists nervous, when he shout out his blood curdling cry YIKKY-BOO! That is why sometimes
    you see ink blobs on cartoon pages. Cartoon artists mess up sometimes, because of
    Yikky-Boo.
