British News Stand Comics and Magazines for Teens, Pre-Teens and Children

Beano 3972 Cover

Last Updated: 18th February 2018

Here’s a list of every title aimed at young readers and teenagers on the UK news stand. Not all the titles listed feature comic strip (and in many of those that do, it’s sourced from outside the UK rather than originated) and many are feature-led, but I thought downthetubes readers might be interested in seeing what’s out there.

All these titles are available to order from your local newsagent.

The categories used below are those used by newsagents to shelve their titles. In some shops, such as WH Smiths, Teenage Comics are racked separately from Pre-Teen Comics for example.
