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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

      Are you still planning on uploading the Giles Annuals or can you point me in the right direction as to where I can download them? I had a big collection of them many years ago but have no idea where they are now and would love to read through some of them again.

      Hi, can you let me know how and/or if I can access your Wizard of Id collections listed above. I’m teaching a class of English learners and am trying to get across the concept of a pun. I remember, as a kid, reading – probably in the early 70’s – a Sunday strip in which Rodney is in his tree disguise, telling the king about his frightening adventure behind enemy lines and the king asks, “were you scared” and Rodney begins to answer, “Scared, I was…” and the king stops him with “don’t say it.” I’ve scoured on-line collections. It doesn’t seem like there are any collections in libraries here in England. Even if I knew which collection it was in, I could try to order it. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks, Michael

    Fabulous site… wonderful work, and so useful because
    ► the life of a mag is way too short
    ► brit mags are overwhelmed by US ones.

    Just a rem : the century ended at 12pm, Dec 31, 2000 !
    (not 1999, since a century is 100 yrs, not 99 ☺☺☺)
    So there are some more missing issues !!! ☺☺☺☺☺☺

    What an excellent site. Powered no doubt by true comic collectors.

    I was interested in a scan of issue 539 if anyone out there has it plus any other the early sixties Holiday specials. I will look to put some of my scans up in return.
