British and Irish Comic Creators and Publishers on the web – A Snapshot

By on

Here’s a guide to some of the British comic creators online, sorted by their primary roles – Writer, Artist, Colourist, Letterer, Editor and Publisher and more.

PLEASE NOTE – This is by no means a complete list and we’ll be adding to it. If you’re not here yet, you can be!

Not every British comic creator is online or on social media, of course. But we hope this list serves as a useful snapshot of British comics creators
