Talk here about just about anything associated with British comics or story papers and the industry that does not fit in any other forum.
There are separate fora open to registered members for discussing specific comics, artists, websites etc.
Can you clarify what counts as having read a comic? Do you have to have read an actual issue, or will an annual do? Or a "best of" collection? For the individual strips such as Oor Wullie or Flook, is it enough to have read one episode or do you have read a collection (or read it regularly in a newspaper)?
Is it weird to have no interest in keeping or collecting free gifts?

I reckon any of those count as having read it
An interesting part of it, is it shows me statistics on how many people know each one, it builds a nice picture... From the looks of things, so far the most popular British comic is Andy Capp, with a score of 100%.
99 for me. Many of them I have seen, but never been interested in reading them or wasting my time on them. The amount of bad Viz clones on that list is beyond a joke.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

Thanks for the clarification!

Comics I'm aware that I've definitely missed, whoops:
-Warrior
-Buddy
-Look-In
-Doctor Who Weekly
-Red Dwarf Smegazine
-Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet (Nineties reprints)
-Spaceship Away
-Striker 3D
-Wildcat
-LOADS of Marvel and Fleetway reprints - Batman, Real Ghostbusters, Hero Turtles, Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butt-Head, Madballs, Mighty Max, Monster In My Pocket...
-Several "youngster" titles, such as Pingu, Postman Pat and Sesame Street
-The Best of Beezer and The Best of Topper
-The Best of Whoopee!
-Star Wars Weekly
-Welsh titles such as Grasshopper/Tadpole
It won't let you edit them once ten people have had a go at it (messes up the points system or something), so I'll do the whole thing again in a few months maybe (or someone else can?).
