British Comics: an IntroductionEdit

The first comic magazine, Funny Folks, was published in Britain on 12th December 1874, and comics have been a part of British life ever since. Generations have grown up reading the adventures (and misadventures) of characters from Dennis the Menace to Judge Dredd in titles both famous and obscure, from Comic Cuts and Illustrated Chips to Beano, Dandy, and Topper, to Eagle, Battle, Bunty, Misty, cult favourite Action, the seemingly immortal 2000AD or The Crunch, some of them aimed at young children like The Rainbow or Pippin & Playland, others created for a more adult market like Crisis and Warrior. And since the 1980s British born creators have been a revolutionary force in the US comics industry too, with people like Alan Moore and Grant Morrison becoming household names. Since the 1990s, the industry has shrunk in size, but not in quality and never in the breadth of their imagination.
