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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

isn’t the year 2000 still the 90’s in a way ? think about it – 2000 could be seen as like the final year of the “90’s” , with 2001 as the beginning of the “00’s”

It is. 2000 was the last year of the 20th century. There was no year 0 so we start counting with year 1

Widely regarded as one of the best artists to ever grace the British comic industry,
MIKE WESTERN, began his career on Knockout, having already spent time working for GB Animation.
During the fifties he shared art chores with Eric Bradbury on the popular western strip Lucky Logan.
In 1960 he moved onto TV Express where he drew No Hiding Place and Biggles.
Buster and Valiant followed and Mike found himself drawing long-running strips such as Wild Wonders.
In the seventies he had been even more prolific, illustrating Buster’s The Leopard from Lime Street, and the gritty Battle stories Darkie’s Mob and HMS Nightshade.
Returning to the new Eagle in the eighties, Mike also made an impact with the sport story Billy’s Boots (Tiger) and with his nineties Roy of the Rovers Daily Star newspaper strip.

The Leopard has always been a favourite of mine. BUT, the idea and origin of the character is very derivative, being not only a variation on a well used theme, but also a particularly British version of Peter Parker’s origin. None of which in any way spoils the fun. I do have to confess to slightly preferring the adventures of Billy The Cat, though.
LikeLike
Yes Billy The Cat was also one of my favourites too. I will find out for you more information about Billy The Cat band post later about it. In addition to Billy the Cat and The Leopard from lime streetm there also was a strip in Sally girl comic about either The Cat girl or the Leopard girl. I will mention more about that later too, when I find the information.

Five years before Billy Farmer became The Leopard from Lime Street in Buster, “ordinary Cathy” fought crime as The Cat Girl in IPC’s new girls’ weekly Sally. The strip debuted in the first issue in 1969, and unlike Billy Farmer who was scratched by a radioactive leopard, Cathy’s powers were derived from a non-violent source; a magical costume. When wearing the cat costume, Cathy became “agile as an acrobat, quick as a lightning flash”.

The artist GIORGIO GIORGETTI (1920-1982) who was the creator/artist of Catgirl and left some of his original Catgirl work..given to his son Riccardo Giorgetti by the then CEO of IPC following his death.
His dad was Italian, but moved to England in 1950. He had his art studio at his home in Margate, Kent.
Hopefully the above info helps…

So many of those old IPC pages were destroyed or sold off, so it’s good to know those Cat Girl pages are with someone who deserves them.

Discovering his love of comics through reading The Eagle, JOHN STOKES would later join his brother George at IPC, where he worked on several strips for Buster including, Maxwell Hawke, Lennie the loner and no less than three strips that were written by Scott Goodall – The War Children, Fishboy and Marney the Fox.
In the seventies he moved to Marvel UK and worked on The House of Hammer, Black Knight in Hulk Weekly, Doctor Who Monthly and Star Wars amongst others (he collaborated with Alan Moore several times in the latter two titles).
As well as illustrating several Future Shocks in 2000 AD, Stokes has worked on many US comics, including L.E.G.I.O.N., Aliens: Havoc, Randy Bowen’s Decapitator and The Invisibles.

Just to let you know I am Scottish by the way!
Loch Ness is known as the home of the Loch Ness Monster (also known as “Nessie”), a cryptid, reputedly a large unknown animal. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next. Popular interest and belief in the animal’s existence has varied since it was first brought to the world’s attention in 1933.
I know the Loch Ness Monster exist as he is my cousin.

That would be a good idea yes. Maybe you can provide textfiles in the Dropbox which i can use, i can make a page for all artists that worked for British comics that way in their own widget. That would not be to timeconsuming to do for me during summerbreak.
