Re: new to comics?
Well THERE's a broad question!
Personally, I'd recommend humour comics - they're plentiful, cheap, and often beautiful to look at. Get either of these two books as a starting point and go from there:
Cartoon Capers, 300-odd pages of DC Thomson laughs (Beano, Dandy, Beezer etc)
BIG Comic Book 1990 - Fleetway chuckles (Buster, Whizzer & Chips etc)
Giant Holiday Fun Comic Album, more laughs, including Ken Reid's ridiculously good Queen of the Seas.
If you're over eighteen, get this one as well:
The Sausage Sandwich, golden-age Viz.
That's only my recommendations, though. The superhero stuff can be hard to get into as it's such a vast universe (and the fans can be hostile to newcomers as well).
Or you could always find this book, see what takes your fancy:

Re: new to comics?
I sometimes have an imaginary conversation in my head as if someone had asked me this very question. Its quite complex really. First of all there are American and British comics (and comics from every other country but we'll stick to the former). With american comics you can choose a genre ie Horror, Superhero, Romance, Western, Crime or even the funny animal stuff. You could also opt for a certain publisher ie DC, Marvel, Charlton, Gold Key, Warren and so on. You could decide to collect golden age (quite expensive), silver age, bronze age or the more modern stuff. You might decide on certain characters ie Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Captain America etc. You could pick out certain artists, in my case i collect Kirby, Kane, Infantino, Wood, Ditko, Adams etc but then i'm in my late 50s and realise there have been artists sinvce these veterans such as Frank Miller who is very popular. The same applies to British comics for the most part. My suggestions are based on me being a 58 year old and a lot of them may not appeal to someone say in their twenties or thirties. I've been trying to convice a younger colleague that The Searchers is the greatest film ever made but he isn't having any of it and says The Matrix is the greatest - I started watching the Matrix at his suggestion but found it did not appeal to me one bit. He said he started watching the Searchers yesterday but found it slow and fell asleep. He obviously does not watch movies as an art form. Anyway getting back to comics I have to admit I have recently acquired a taste for the Sad Sack and Casper type comics which are very simple but you on the other hand may wish to indulge in something more intellectually stimulating. In that regard I compare them with a film like Unforgiven, I am a big Clint Eastwood fan and Unforgiven won oscars for best film, Director and Supporting Actor and is regarded as a classic but at the end of the day I would much rather watch The Good The Bad and the Ugly because I want to be entertained rather than preached to. I don't read modern comics so have no idea what they have to offer but younger forum members can give you an insight into them. Best wishes.

Desert Island Comics:
1. Beanos from about 1954 to 1960, bought on eBay, for the utterly hilarious Leo Baxandale strips (Little Plum, Minnie the Minx, Bash St Kids).
2. Dennis the Menace annuals up to the mid-1970s, which reprint fantastic strips by Davey Law.
3. Judge Dredd Case Files, volumes 2 to 5, containing the best stories and art to appear in legendary sci-fi comic 2000AD (in my opinion!)
4. Marvel Masterworks: Incredible Hulk volume 1; Amazing Spider-Man volume 1; Fantastic Four volumes 1 to 5 (featuring the genius of Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Stan Lee)
5. Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (everyone likes this
)
6. The EC Archives: Tales From the Crypt, volume 3 and 4 (reprinting old 1950s EC horror comics)
7. The Infinity Gauntlet, by Jim Starlin (Marvel megabaddie Thanos destroys the universe)
8. Yes, if you're over 18, then Viz: The Sausage Sandwich, is a classic.

Re: new to comics?
If I was starting from scratch and currently did not have a preference on what I want to read, then I would shop around on eBay.
If you do, then just look for that type of comic on eBay.
In either case, you will be to view the front covers which may give you a little clue on what that comic is about. Anything that takes your fancy, just get but I would try to limit it so that you don't spend a fortune.
If it is British comics you are interested in and you live in or near London, have you ever thought about visiting the British Library? They keep a copy of every comic printed (in the UK) though not necessarily on site so you would have to pre-book first so they can get the comic(s) in.
Welcome to comics - given a chance they are a great source of entertainment and interest.

Reading comics since 1970. My Current Regulars are: 2000 AD (1977-), Judge Dredd Megazine (1990-), Spaceship Away (2003-), Commando (2013-), Monster Fun (2022-), Deadpool and Wolverine (2023-), Quantum (2023-).
Re: new to comics?
Lots of good suggestions there. An easier, and free, way to have a look at a range of comics and genres is through your local library. There will be a majority of American collections and G.N.s but you should also find Commando collections and 2000AD/Judge Dredd collections. My local library also has such delights as Charley's War and some Euro translations.
Knowing nothing of your tastes, I'll suggest some toes in the water starters. British humour titles have been mentioned, so Beano and Dandy up to mid to late '70's for some wonderful art and laughs plus some excellent adventure strips. First series Eagle for the sheer quality of scripts, art and printing standards - Dan Dare and PC 49 are simply superb strips.
Humour titles abounded in N. America and the Archie series continues to this day. You could have a look at the selection on Comixology where you can see samples but I'm not sure the modern Archie stories and art are up to same standard. Then again, like others on here, I'm getting on a bit. While you're on comixology, take a look at Bandette from Monkey Brain comics, a modern comic that combines fun, humour, a bit of action and some good art and storytelling. They are inexpensive and are for reading on a tablet.
As stevezodiac says, Sad Sack and Casper can be fun and I'd add Richie Rich to the mix.
As for Watchmen, despite some recent revisionist remarks and re-assessing, it still stands out as one of the high points of a more mature, relevant form of superhero comic. Available in most libraries. As is V. for Vendetta and my personal favourite, Batman Year One, which is vastly superior to Dark Knight Returns - but that's only my opinion.
I'd also suggest a look at the early Corto Maltese books by Hugo Pratt, some of which are available in English translations.
If you fancy American Golden Age comics, there are thousands of public domain issues available on a couple of sites for free for reading on your computer or tablet. Try comicbookplus.
I'm afraid I don't know a lot about more current comics. I hope you find lots of stuff to enjoy.

Re: new to comics?
Obviously it isn't quite that straightforward. Any individual who wants to access the library's holdings has to join first. They would need to take with them some personal identification, such as a passport, and a letter or utilities bill addressed to themselves to authenticate their home address. Once through that stage they will be photographed, and that picture will appear on their membership card, which they will then always need to show to the uniformed operative seated at a desk just inside the door of whichever reading room they wish to study in. So long as a member knows the shelf number of the item(s) he/she wishes to consult, ordering is straightforward, but the process of extracting the item(s) from storage will take at least an hour. I usually go to their cafe and get a coffee at that point. Take a few bob with you, it isn't cheap. One bonus is that if the member doesn't manage to complete their work by closing time, the reading room staff are prepared to hang on to their item(s) until the following day. Making photocopies is allowed but a card to insert in your copier has to be bought first, from which is deducted the tariff of the day for each copy made. Don't expect it to be 10p. When I last used the facility it was 18p, and it was only that cheap because I had bought a £40 card. It could well be quite a bit more by now!SID wrote:If it is British comics you are interested in and you live in or near London, have you ever thought about visiting the British Library?

Re: new to comics?
paw broon that site you mentioned, can the comics be read on a kindle?
Re: new to comics?
If you have a Kindle fire, then yes - with a reader app. I'm pretty sure that a basic Kindle reader wont play .cbr or. cbz files.
You might want to have a read at this article:-

Can anyone else add to or correct this?
If you haven't yet bought a tablet, you'd be better going for an android device which will play both types of comics files via the Perfectviewer app from Google store.
Just found this but it's a bit complicated:-

Re: new to comics?
I have a kindle Fire and although I have heard of Apps I have never used one or downloaded one or done whatever you do with an app. I still haven'y worked out how to use wi-fi. Apologies for my lack of awareness in this regard. I registered with BT broadband in April and although I have an e-mail address I have never accessed it as I can't seem to manage it. I did e-mail BT but never received a reply.
Re: new to comics?
OK, this might be too difficult to do via the forum. I'll send a pm 'cos I need to ask a few questions. Also, knowing that I am a right duffer when it comes to trying to tell folk how to do things might be a bigger problem and you could end up telling me to get lost and asking a young person, who will get you up and running in no time
