To-do

Tagging needed

Start tagging relevant pages by adding |British-work-group=yes to the {{WikiProject Comics}} banner on talk pages.

• Tag articles.
• Recruit interested editors.
• Collect categories, resource links, and templates.
• Expand the open task listing above.
• Add things here!

Resources

• 2000 AD's site not only has a full index of back issues but has also indexed related publications like Toxic and Crisis so you should be able to find something on most British creators of the past 30 years as 95% of them passed through the doors at some point.

• British Comics (and superheroes) and UK Heroes at the International Catalogue of Superheroes with links on to their entries (very handy for early comics characters)

• Comics UK, overviews of the main titles - a good starting point is the comics listing.

Comics Portal

The Comics Portal requires regular input and is always seeking volunteers. Help us bring this portal at Featured portal status!
