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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

Where did the word ”Paddywack” originated from ?
The phrase originated from the old English nursery rhyme, “This old man”. Nick nack or “knick knack” refers to the sound produced when playing the bones, as a musical instrument that later evolved into using metal spoons held loosely between the finger and stroked across a board, a shoe or most commonly the fingers of the opposite hand.
Each verse refers to the common practice in Ireland of of after a feast of lamb or swine, taking the rib bones and fashioning them into a musical instrument, using it as a rhythmic instrument of an impromptu band that might also include a lute and singers.
Paddywhack has several meaning and it is unclear which meaning the nursery rhyme intended. One definition is the tough elastic ligament found in many four legged animals such as a lamb that holds the head up. It was often eaten but is tough and may have been fed to the farm dog and referred to as as a bone. I tend to think it was referring to this definition and think the entire line in the nursery rhyme means that after playing the bones and singing songs after the meal, that the bones and paddywhack was given to the family dog to eat.

This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played two,
He played knick-knack on my shoe;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played three,
He played knick-knack on my knee;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played four,
He played knick-knack on my door;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played five,
He played knick-knack on my hive;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

Bubblegum Boy once was Chewing gum, trying to blow a big bubble, as he got carried away seeing how big he can make it, it just lifted him off the ground [he literally got carried away] and due to desperation in his new found predicament, he just keeps blowing his Bubble all the time, so he will not plummet to the ground.
Question left, is how does he keep himself supplied with enough Bubble Gum in order never to fall down ?
That Mystery will be revealed also in the new ”Cheeky and Krazy Weekly.”

ROBERT T. NIXON (7 July 1939 – 22 October 2002) broke off his education at the Middlesbrough Art College after the death of his father.
He found employment at the art department of a printing factory and around 1963, he started drawing for the comic books of D.C. Thomson, such as Beano.
After drawing ‘Little Plum’, he inherited ‘Lord Snooty’, producing quite a good imitation of Dudley D. Watkins’ original work.
Other features he was assigned to were ‘Roger the Dodger’ and ‘Grandpa’. In 1972, he drew a revival of ‘Grandpa’, which again benefited from his cute touches. In the late 1960s, he turned freelance and drew ‘Esky Mo’ and ‘Captain Cutler’ for Sparky.
In 1973, he left to work for IPC Magazines, becoming their most prolific artist during the next decade.
Robert Nixon’s creations had a familiar rounded, cuter edge. He was a regular in Shiver & Shake, Whoopee!, Whizzer & Chips and Jackpot, drawing features like ‘Ivor Lott and Tony Broke’, ‘Lolly Pop’, ‘King Arthur and his Frights of the Round Table’ and ‘Elephant on the Run’.
He produced funny versions of horror characters for Monster Fun, such as ‘Frankie Stein’ (previously drawn by Ken Reid), ‘Kid Kong’, ‘Gums’ and many others. He also created covers for the Monster Fun Annuals.
In the mid-1980s, he returned to D.C. Thomson and went to work for Dandy, Beano, Topper and Beezer. In 1986, Nixon created the infant terrible ‘Ivy the Terrible’, and his other 1980s and 1990s credits include ‘Korky the Cat’, ‘Lord Snooty’ and ‘Beryl the Peril’.
