British Comics Reference | Titles | Current Titles

This is not an exhaustive list of all comic titles on sale in the UK – information and corrections are always welcome. Please contact us with updates or corrections. 

We’re only trying to include comics and magazines with some comic content on this page. That said, we’re aware some Pre-School Titles might not be considered to include comic content on that basis but we do see them as a starting point where people might go on to read comics, given that they include illustrated stories, hence their inclusion.
