The great british weekly: iconic UK comics
Step back in time with our iconic UK comics, famous for their "anthology" style and long-running popularity in newsagents. Relive your childhood with The Beano & The Dandy: the twin titans of British humour. The Beano (est. 1938) brought us rebels like Dennis the Menace and Minnie the Minx, while The Dandy (est. 1937) was home to the powerhouse Desperate Dan. They are the gold standard for childhood nostalgia.
Discover Victor: a legendary "boys' adventure" comic known for its gritty, heroic tales of wartime bravery and sporting triumphs, defining the action genre for generations of British schoolboys. And don't miss Eagle: famous for its high-quality artwork and the debut of Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, featuring sophisticated sci-fi epics.
The age of superheroes: iconic US comics
Our US comic collection brings you the age of superheroes, typically defined by "monthly floppies" focusing on a single character or team. Relive the "Golden" and "Silver" ages with seminal issues that shaped the genre.
Superman (DC Comics): The one who started it all. Since 1938, the Man of Steel has been the ultimate symbol of truth and justice. Vintage issues are highly prized by collectors as they track the evolution of the superhero genre.
Iron Man (Marvel Comics): A centrepiece of the Marvel Age. From his 1963 debut in Tales of Suspense, Tony Stark brought a modern, flawed, and tech-driven hero to the world, making 60s and 70s issues a favourite for those who love "Silver Age" Marvel.
Explore Spider-Man & Batman: other staples of the US market. These titles represent the "Human" side of superheroes—Batman with his detective noir roots and Spider-Man with his relatable teenage struggles. Find your next collectible today!
