	British comic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British comics are typically aimed at children, and are published weekly, although some are also published on a fortnightly or monthly schedule.
		Until this point, the British comic was also usually printed on newsprint, with fl or a dark red used as the dark colour and the four colour process used on the cover.
		The history of British comics is entwined with that of comics up until the beginning of the 20th century.

	British comics through the Decades (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The British "Pulp" Era Britain had both costumed and superpowered characters who turned up in the early days of the comics, which at that time were largely text stories with a handful of illustrations (a well-known example being the Sherlock Holmes stories in the Strand).
		And near the end of the decade a new comic is introduced that will change the face of British comics - 2000 A.D. Eighties: With Captain Britain the Americans had tried to move on the British market.
		Twenty-first century heroes: With most of the old British titles having gone to the wall, the new millennium might appear somewhat bleak.

	An Overview of the History of British Comics
		The British weekly comic as we know and love it emerged in the 1890s as part of a boom in cheap, popular magazine and newspaper publishing which resulted directly from the provision of basic education for all that had been initiated by the government's Education Act of 1870.
		Since then, comics have periodically come under attack in the UK, usually on the grounds that they're too rough or excessively violent for kiddies: as recently as 1977, 2000A.D. was criticised by various local watchdog organisations and even banned for a while in some towns.
		Traditional British comics didn't offer anything like that (except a few for girls): a few of us still love them for what they are, but most of us also stopped reading them at a certain age and moved over to American stuff.

	British Comics Collection: The British Library Newspaper Library
		British Library Newspapers has been receiving British comics via legal deposit since the 1870s, when Funny Folks (1874-1894) became the first publication to meet what would probably be the generally accepted definition of a comic.
		Comics which were designed primarily for children were not published until the early years of the twentieth century, the first being the Rainbow (1914-1956), although Puck (1904-1940), which began as an adult comic, gradually came to be aimed at a much younger readership.
		British Library Newspapers has copies of all the comics recorded in the Select List of British Comics Held in the British Library Newspapers, as well as many others.

	Comic Book Postal Auctions Home Page
		These first ten issues of Kinema Comic (1920) were taken to £320 with the bonus that anything that features The Master Of Mystery, Houdini, is always going to attract cross-over bidding from Magic memorabilia collectors who are consistently searching for early prints, posters and photographs of the early prestidigitators.
		Young Marvelman comics by publisher L Miller normally sell for a few pounds each but issue 25 was actually No 1.
		With the comics themselves in grades ranging from Very Fine to Mint it was no wonder that an equally very fine bid of £418 saw this pristine collection settle at its new hornet's nest.

	BBC - Cult Presents 2000AD and British comics - Features

		For children, comics provided a regular dose of laughter, colour and excitement, and were a valuable unit of playground barter.
		If the comic is staple-bound, check that the staples have not pulled away or stained the paper with rust.
		The best way to keep comics in the condition in which you bought them is to keep them bagged in plastic - though avoid bags with a completely airtight seal, as this will sometimes encourage chemical reactions that destroy the paper.
