The British are known throughout the world as an eccentric people – and if anyone peeked through a stack of typical comics from the 50s, 60 and 70s you’d find enough proof to have our island race quarantined for the safety of humankind.

No matter what your particular – or peculiar – taste, British comics has something of interest for you concealed under its many covers.

A planeload of schoolgirl ballerinas crash-landed on a mountainside and keeping in their ballet practice just in case they get rescued in time for the grand dance off? Yes.

A town way out West – and we do mean way out – who have just elected a large ape as their sheriff? Got!

A New York King of Crime out to stop all criminals so he can be Number One in a field of one? Yeah.

A daring adventurer with a life-protecting eye around his neck out to set the world to rights? Yup.
Kids from outer space, time-travelling weirdos, talking pets, freakish football players, robot spies, historical adventurers, detective school-girls – British comics has the lot.

For the aficionado of eccentric storytelling you’d have to go a long way to beat what British comics has on offer.

There’s a whole alphabet of wild and wonderful characters waiting for the person who dares to re-open the pages last closed in childhood:
Adam Eterno…Bananaman…Captain Hurricane…Dolmann…Eagle-Eye…Fireball XL5…Ginger…Hookjaw…Iron Fish…Julius Cheeser…Kitty Hawke…Luck of the Legion…Mytek the Mighty…Oor Wullie…Powerman…Q-Bikes…Ro-Busters…Six Million Dollar Gran…Trigan Empire…Union Jack Jackson…Victor Drago…Wacks…X-Ray Specs…Young Marvelman and, of course – Zip Nolan!
