Welcome on this blog with compilations from British Comics.
Hello to all.
I am afraid i have some bad news, well not real bad, but for most of my blogs it will be not good. All good things comes to an end at sometime and this is the time the good things for most of my blogs will end as of now.
I will stop updating en repairing links and all that is necessary for those blogs. Not that i don’t like it anymore, but like i said in earlier comments i found other things to enjoy and focus on and that uses up a great part of my time. Real life activities and some online. And unfortunately there are only 24 hours in 1 day. I will only focus on and maintaining the British Comics Blog and the Newspaper Blog. All other blogs will still be here and all things can be downloaded as long as the links are alive. If there is something urgent or you have questions you still can make a comment, i will be observing the blogs for eventualities.
You will find compilations on characters, just stories and from different titles.
There are compilations made by various unknown makers, users of this blog and compilations i made myself.
Note that i only place compilations with stories published before 2000 (with the occasional exception).
You can view them with any cbr-reader.
You can access the compilations through the sidebar.
I did not scan myself only collect them from various sites on the internet, internet archive, Usenet Newsgroups and torrents.
So thanks to all the scanners and uploaders.
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 :

Sorry to hear that. I’ve enjoyed reading and occasionally contributing to these blogs in the past few years.
If I can just sneak something under the wire, here are some (unedited) scans of some bits from Tiger Holiday Specials that I don’t think are in current compilations:
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/5aae2f9de469f7c95599b1a5415dca3020230326114250/4727e0015b93e14e3d9b30a779de67e520230326114319/59790e
That should include the Billy’s Boots and Hot-Shot Hamish strips from the 1980 and 1985 Tiger Holiday Specials and the Death Wish text story from the 1985 special. (This link should be active for another week or so.)
I still have a few holiday specials I’m trying to track down to plug gaps in my personal compilations, but if I get hold of them I’ll aim to scan the whole comic and post the results on the British Comics blog instead of here. I suspect most readers would prefer that anyway.

You’re welcome. Unfortunately I only have occasional access to a basic scanner and only have time to scan the pages I’m after rather than the whole issue. (I tried once to scan a single regular issue of Buster that isn’t on the British Comics site and it took almost an hour.)

Hi. As promised a few weeks back, here are unedited scans of the Kelly’s Eye story from the 1970 Valiant Summer Special:
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/ed834950c751127261ee695f460aa2ee20221126094013/67f9293b3266a7f0b00b7e72a30d44cc20221126094033/80cec2
Anyone familiar with the series will recognise this as a heavily abridged reprint of the KE serial ‘The Magus’ which ran in the weekly comic in 1964, but I felt it was worth sending through anyway for completeness’ sake.
As I’ve recently sent you the 1966 special KE strip, I think that just leaves the one from the 1980 Summer Special outstanding. That’s definitely an original by Dave Harwood, who didn’t AFAIK illustrate any other KE story.
Unfortunately the 1980 special seems quite hard to come by. There does seem to be one currently for sale on a Danish website, but I can’t even sign up for it to contact the seller without a Scandinavian telephone number!
(Incidentally, anyone collecting the Valiant series ‘Raven on the Wing’ might like to know that the 6 page strip from the 1970 Summer Special was reprinted – without any changes that I could see – in the 1979 Valiant Holiday Special, which I believe is in the current version of the compilation!)

That was a story in Gary Linneker’s Hot Shot, you can find this title in the British Comics Blog, there is no compilation for it on the blog.

I believe it moved to Roy Of The Rovers after Hot Shot folded, maybe around 1989. Definitely in the 1991 issues I’m currently scanning.

Does anyone remember a comic strip from the early 70s about two children. Their dad is in prison for a crime he did not commit and they are trying to prove his innocence by collecting pieces of a jigsaw puzzle which revels the face of the real criminal? I can’t remember what it was called or which comic it appeared in.
