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The Dandy, The Beano, and Comic Cuts, are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.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

Following the suggestion to post this to the main page (originally posted on the comics listing page):
Another for the list: The Bog Paper (Marvel UK, 1989)
With the standard UK comics market faltering in the late 1980s, seeing many long running titles coming to an end, various UK publishers began looking for an alternative audience. The success of Viz, a humour magazine aimed at older teens / young adults, with anarchic and much ruder (or, some would say, cruder) strips and characters, prompted a slew of imitators trying to capture the same zeitgeist. Fleetway experimented with the likes of Oink, and a few years later Marvel UK made a similar attempt with Bog Paper. As the name suggests, all the strips literally involved a level of toilet humour, with parody characters such as Flush Gordon (a superhero who emerges from a lavatory) and Doctor Phoo (a Doctor Who-like character who travels through time in his TURDIS, a time-space craft disguised as a back garden toilet, accompanied by his pet robot, WC1, a toilet-based riff on K-9). Perhaps unsurprisingly, it only lasted eleven issues before being cancelled.

A couple more unusual requests to put out there, in the hope that someone can provide scans.
Sufferin’ Satellites, published 1996-1998. I’m most especially interested in the story Broken Mirror, which featured Dan Dare in the world of Judge Dredd. Not sure which issue(s) that might have been in – or, indeed, how many issues Sufferin’ Satellites had.
Paper Empire #2, a small press title notable for the appearance of Alan Moore creation Captain Empire. The other three installments of that strip are up on Comic Book Plus, but not that one.
LikeLike
Re. Paper Empire/Captain Empire, Dom Regan didn’t have #2 – I asked him about it at a recent con. I’m pretty sure that Captain Empire is Dom’s creation, unless young master Coyle had a hand in it. Doubt it though.
I scanned the issues from my own copies for CB+, with Dom’s permission.
LikeLike
Hi Steve. I thought that since Captain Empire first appeared in Captain Britain’s strip, that he was a creation of Alan Moore and Alan Davis, which isn’t to take anything away from Dom Regan’s developing the character into more than a mere throwaway cameo character. I actually knew you’d scanned them for CB+, because you originally scanned them for me first. I was / am hoping that by putting out a request, it might result in someone surfacing with a copy of the elusive #2.
LikeLike
Moreau, of course, you’re right. Obvious, isn’t it, and that’s apart from the acknowledgement in #3. I may have mentioned my failing memory and the fact that I can’t seem to stop aging. Dom must have been on top of the character sharpish as the illo. in back of P.E. #1 is dated Sept. ’84.
A tiny wee hint here, eh? My memory is letting me down again. And I did scan them for a couple of folk. I know I’m going to kick myself.
It would be excellent if someone could come up with a copy. Fingers, toes etc. crossed.
Not a clue about Sufferin’ Satellites. Sorry.

My summerbreak is over and i continue doing the usual things for the blogs.
First thing to do is updating this blog. It will be a large update, i did some work in advance but still alot to do, so i am hoping to have it ready halfway next month.
Everyone can share what they want again if they like, i will collect all but will keep them for the update after the next update to prevend mixups with the planned update.
After that i begin with the updates for the other blogs.
Also the new pulp and old magazinesblog i hope to have ready for the opening somewhere next month.
I have a todolist which will keep me busy for at least the rest of the year.
Priorities are :
Reorganizing some pages like Beano, Dandy, Smash just like i did with Tiger and some others, and rename them with only the dates.
Updating the Compilationsblog with new compilations that i allready had finished.
Making compilations with Christmasthemes, like Christmas with the Dandy, Christmas with the Beano and other titles, perhaps make some for characters if there are enough related stories, like Christmas with the Bash Street Kids.
Well, that’s all for now folks.

Although Score n Roar is listed as complete, I have a query about Score n Roar issue #11 (1970-11-28).
Up until Score n Roar issue #19 ‘Nipper’ was a 3-page story.
However in issue #11 ‘Nipper’ only has 2 pages and the first page of the ‘Lord Rumsey’s Rovers story has been scanned twice.
I am wondering whether there is a missing page from the ‘Nipper’ story in issue #11.
Is anyone able to confirm this and, if I am right, is anyone able to help with a correctly scanned issue #11. Thanks in advance.

Scorcher plea.
For the completists out there (I’m one of them), I am still trying to track down a complete 32 page issue of Scorcher 064 [1971-03-27]. The current issue on the Scorcher page is incomplete – 2nd page (p15) of ‘The Amazing Strollers’ story is missing.
Also, Scorcher 151 [1972-11-25] and Scorcher 246 [1974-09-21] are slightly damaged – both have a torn edge on p31.
I would like to replace these incomplete/damaged issues of Scorcher if possible. Can anybody help.

I think i will make a new entry on my todo list.
Place all Picture Library titles in a separate spot right below More Comics.
That should be not to timeconsuming, just copy and paste the links for these titles into the new widget, i came to that idea because in the new update will be quite a few new library’s.
