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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones is a comic book series that ran from 1983 to 1986 published by Marvel Comics.
The series was set in the time period following Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1936 with the final four issues moving into 1937. Thirty-four issues in total saw publication but at least two more were planned but didn’t receive a release: “The Sentinel”, and an untitled story that was scheduled to be issue 35 had the book not been canceled.

The Indiana Jones franchise has produced a large number of comic books. Marvel Comics initially owned the rights before passing them to Dark Horse Comics in 1990. Marvel published adaptations of the films Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, while Dark Horse adapted the Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis video game, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television series, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Marvel also published The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones from 1983 to 1986, which were the first original adventures featuring the character in comic book literature. From 1992 to 1996, following the Fate of Atlantis adaptation, Dark Horse published seven limited series. With the franchise’s revival in 2008 due to the release of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Dark Horse will publish further series, including one aimed at children. Critical reaction to the comics, particularly their interior art, is mixed.

Information about British Girl Comics :
Bunty: 1958 – 2001
“Bunty was at the head of the pack right from its debut until the late 1990s, by which time it was the only girls’ comic left,” says collector Mike Kidson. “It achieved that status of being the identifying label by which the whole field is referred to.” The title included boarding school tale The Four Marys which ran for six decades!
Girl: 1951 – 1964
Not to be confused with the later IPC title, Girl was the stable mate of Eagle. While a copy of Eagle #1 can fetch anything between £50 – £10 in reasonable condition, its female counterpart rarely fetches more than £20. “That’s despite the fact they’re the same in terms of [editorial] quality,” says Malcolm Phillips.
Jinty: 1974 –1981
Jinty featured characters far from the stereotypes of boarding schools, secret agents and pony riding – although they contained some of the aspects of them. Stories included Children of Edenford – a chilling Stepford Wives-type tale – and Pat Mills’ skateboarding tale, The Concrete Surfer.
“Women buy a lot as back issues,” says Howard Stangrom from the 30th Century Comics store (www.thirtiethcentury.free-online.co.uk), one of the few comic stores to promote its stock of girls titles. “It had a more street-level, adventurous slant, and is fondly remembered by thirtysomething women.”
Judy: 1960 – 1991
Judy featured everything that was good about girls comics back in the 1960s – the sort of comics success IPC sought to emulate with its “revolution” titles in the 1970s. Its formula of romance, orphans, school and girl-next-door stories survived even the 1980s, when consumer-led magazines for girls were on the rise.
Misty: 1978 – 1980
Introduced by IPC to mimic the success of DC Thomson’s Spellbound, this is, says Mike Kidson, “the only girls’ comic to have attracted the attention of American comics fandom in the UK.” A Misty annual recently sold for £60 apiece on eBay – though beware, because the content of most in no way matches the quality of the original comic.
“The idea was to apply the rules of 2000AD to girls comics, including larger visuals,” reveals Pat Mills. “Specifically to use role models such as Carrie, Audrey Rose, Flowers in the Attic. If this had been done properly, it would have been a runaway best seller. I still regret not devising Misty and I feel if I had, it would still be around today. As it is, I wrote Moonchild (a serial based closely on Carrie) for the launch and this went down well.
Misty had a firm following, “but it had too many stupid adventure stories in with colourful visuals,” says Pat, “Female readers generally care more about story than art. In male comics, it’s often the other way ‘round. I think I’d better resist commenting further!”
Tammy: 1971 – 1984
Always a title keen on a good weepy, Tammy rivalled DC Thomson’s Bunty in sales terms. Tammy incorporated six other titles during its lifetime, including June and Jinty. It introduced us to Girls of Liberty Lodge, Slaves of War Orphan Farm and good old Bessie Bunter, created decades earlier by Frank Richards.

The Gem story paper: A wonderful history of this great story paper (which preceded Magnet by one year) from 1926-1928. Although it only concentrates of these three years, you do get a good feel of what the Gem was all about.
THE GEM, for those of you not familiar with that pre-ww2 icon of the British Empire juvenile world, was a story paper similar to THE MAGNET and survived 1711 issues.
It featured throughout the years stories of St James College in Sussex – more commonly known as St Jim’s to its scholars – and in particular the adventures of the Fourth and Shell forms. There were two houses, the School House and the New House. The main characters were the ‘Terrible Three’ – Merry, Manners and Lowther from the Shell; Blake, D’Arcy, Herries and Digby from the School House Fourth; Figgins, Kerr and ‘Fatty’ Wynn from the New House Fourth. It should be mentioned that the latter two groups were combined for certain classes. These boys would all have been around 15 years of age.

If you’ve an old Beano Comic hidden in your house, you could be sitting on a goldmine worth of cash – up to £20,000 to be exact.
The first edition of the classic comic, which launched back in 1938 and came complete with a ‘free gift’, is expected to be the most valuable Beano in existence – and can fetch in thousands – but there’s only 20 left in the world.
At first launch, an copy of Beano, which featured cartoon characters such as ostrich Big Eggo and Lord Snooty and His Pals, could be picked up for just a twopence – that’s less than 1p today – however just last year, one collector sold his 28-page edition for an astonishing £17,000 at auction – and the value is only going up.
At the time, Malcolm Phillips, of London-based Comic Book Auctions, said: “We guessed the price might go over the pre-sale estimate of £5,000 because of the sheer amount of interest we had before the sale, but we never expected it to be three times that much.
“The Beano has a place in every comic book collector’s heart as it was the most popular comic book in the country. This piece is the number one trophy item.”
The first Beano issue, complete with a free ‘whoopee mask’ – of which only one has ever been discovered – sold for £6,820 in 1999 – today this might sell for £20,000.
Dundee-based DC Thomson was also publisher of 1950s sister comic The Dandy, which after selling two-million copies a week at its peak, ceased circulation on December 2012 with its 75th anniversary edition.
Known as the second highest price ever paid for a British comic, an original copy of The Dandy with its free whistle gift, sold for a huge £20,350 in 2004.

When it comes to valuing your Beano edition, experts at Comic Price Guide explain: “Only a handful of #1’s are known to exist and so are very hard to price guide.
“Each time one surfaces, maybe it will impact on the value and cause a decrease. Or there could be a clutch of people out there wanting to own a number one issue and willing to spend money.”
Collector Phil Shrimpton, 35, from Seaford in East Sussex, owns a copy of every Beano published from 1938 right up to 1988.
Speaking to MailOnline, he explained: “I loved reading The Beano as a child – and as I got older I was bitten by the collecting bug, picking up old issues at car boot sales and charity shops. Before I knew it, there was a need to get the full set – a hobby costing a few pence suddenly turned into a serious investment pursuit.”
Phil who has his own website Phil-comics auctions, says: “A good place to start collecting is with the comic annuals – you can buy well read Beano or Dandy annuals from the 1950s or 1960s for as little as £50.
“But condition is key and you might have to pay £200 for an annual that is in pristine condition. The same goes for comics. If you want to buy as an investment, get the best quality you can afford.”
