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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

Yikky-Boo was based on Andy, before he join the staff of caroonists. As a kid of 13 years
old, he use to visit every six weeks to Ipc Magazines Ltd. He always frightened us when he arrived at the office. Eventually, after 4 years, of frightening us, we agree to give him a job to make him quiet. It worked. So ended the career of Yikky-Boo, but started another for Andy. In time he surprised us, when he became our Editor.

Frankiestein from Whoopee! comic and other Comics which he starred in, was based on me, although I am not that Ugly. But, he does share my name. Frankie for short and Stein, for the STEIN [stain] he left on my name.

Frank was quiet clumsy, always tripping over his big feet, and kept falling onto other
cartoon artists, making them Stein [STAIN] their artwork with Coffee or Tea that frank
was holding at the time. So between him and Yikky-Boo [Andy] it was scary what will
happen next and when t will happen. Stains and Ink Blobs over artwork. Sometimes,
we just let it go to press, other times, some artwork had to be re-done from right from
the beginning again. It also was a Combination of Disaster Des at work again.

The original story in the office at Ipc Magazines Ltd, of how Yikky-Boo was created, is
that when I tried to frighten different Cartoon Artist to shout only Boo, I had a bit of an Itchy throat, so as I cough and shout Boo, it came out YIKKY-BOO, so Frank decided without my permission to create the Character Yikky-Boo based on me as a Kid of 13 years old, back in the year 1978. I was also bribed by many Cartoon artists to give them many ideas for characters for the comics, as a Kid, by giving me comics six weeks ahead before they came into the shops. That went on for 4 years, every six weeks visiting Ipc Magazines Ltd, at Stamford Street, Kings Reach Tower, getting free comics, 12 different titles six weeks in advance. This made me popular at School, all my school friends,
never understood how I got comics before they came to the shops, but many of these
school friends became the basis for many of the comic characters, that I shared ideas with the different cartoonists. Eventually, despite the bribes, it did pay off in the end, in getting a career as a cartoonist, editor and writer.

So it looks like a Great Comic Marathon once more. Your doing a great job as usual! Keep up the good work! I bet this Marathon will be greater then the previous one of comics. Also greater then your literal marathon that you went on running. If Jogging Jeremy from Cheeky weekly came, a snail will beat him in the race.

Thanks for understanding. The thing is chatboxes arent a part of WordPress, someone have to start one on some chatsite. But i am not familiar with chatboxes to be honest. And yes you can sort of chat in a comment also, if it’s related to the blog’s theme.

Do you know which British comic had HOOK JAWS story in it? I would be interested if anyone can make a Compilation of it.
LikeLike
Hook jaws, let me try to find that out, if you want a compilation you are talking to the right person, i come back to you with more information.
P.S.
You mean this one ?
Hook Jaw was created by Mills as a Jaws cash-in and the flagship title of the comic. The strip was scripted by Ken Armstrong and drawn by Ramon Sola. Hook Jaw is a Great White Shark and the hero of the series, even though he spends most of his time eating most of the human cast of characters. The name Hook Jaw comes from the gaff hook stuck in the shark’s jaw after some fisherman tried to catch the creature shortly before being eaten by it. Mills gave the strip an environmental edge by having Hook Jaw eat corrupt humans, or criminals, seeking to exploit the seas, as well as anyone else unlucky enough to get near him. Hook Jaw appeared in three stories before the ban. The first was set on an oil rig, the second was set on an island resort in the Caribbean, and the third was set just off the south coast of England. Hook Jaw returned after the ban, but no longer ate as many people and if he did it was off panel.

Action Comic published by Ipc Magazines Ltd, was the Comic that produced the story Hook Jaws.
Issue 36 of Action appeared dated October 16th, 1976. But its 37th issue, dated October 23rd, never went on sale. IPC Magazines surrendered to the comic’s many critics and pulped almost all 200,000 copies that’d been printed of issue 37. (Only about thirty copies of it survived and they’re worth a fortune today.)
After a six-week hiatus, Action reappeared at the end of November, but in the meantime IPC Magazines had replaced its editor, John Sanders, and drastically toned down its content to make it as innocuous as every other British comic on the market. I remember buying a few copies of the revamped Action and being dismayed by the fact that (a) Hook Jaw was no longer in colour, (b) the shark now only ate about one person each week, and (c) the eating now mostly occurred ‘off-panel’.
Hook Jaw, meanwhile, had an environmental theme. The humans whom the killer shark confronted and, inevitably, ate from week to week were scumbags despoiling his marine habitat – the roughnecks on an oilrig in the original set of Hook Jaw stories, the shysters running a ghastly-looking island holiday resort in the next set of stories.
But obviously, what impressed me back in 1976 was the comic’s in-your-face violence. It had panels that, 40 years later, I can recall more vividly than anything else I’ve ever seen in a comic-book. For example, a colour panel in Hook Jaw – much of that strip was depicted in colour, for obvious reasons – where Hook Jaw and his toothy pack of fellow sharks devour the survivors (no longer surviving) of a ditched-in-the-sea airliner. Or a climactic panel in Dredger where the agent, flying a helicopter, takes out a whole rampart of villains by swooping at them, shredding them with the rotors and turning them into a shower of bloody body parts.
