• For an overview of
the history of British comics, check out the ComicsUK.co.uk
site. It is attempting to list and detail as many British
comics that have been published since Funny Folks (the
first British comic) hit the shops, back in 1874.
There's also another site, recently updated, called simply
British
Comics, which deals mainly with the adventure comics
of the 1950s, 1960s & 1970s especially The Hotspur,
The Rover, The Wizard & British Pocket Libraries.
• Jim Croasdale's British Comics Art Site
A website to show off the work of British comic artists. At the moment it's quite small with work by Joe Colquhoun, Mike McMahon, Geoff Campion and Mike Western, but Jim would eventually like to add work by Brian Lewis and Ron Embleton, among others.
•
Nigel's
Gallery of Childrens' Annuals
is a great stopping off point for a snapshot of these
perennial publications down the years
• Tony's
Trading (www.tonystrading.co.uk)
is an incredible site: not only featuring photographs of a collector's
many and varied collections -- from bottles to cereal box figures --
but a wonderful gallery of British comic annual covers spanning over
four decades.
