History of the British comic : ウィキペディア英語版
British comics

A British comic is a periodical published in the United Kingdom that contains comic strips. It is generally referred to as a comic or a comic magazine, and historically as a comic paper.
British comics are usually comics anthologies which are typically aimed at children, and are published weekly, although some are also published on a fortnightly or monthly schedule. The top three longest-running comics in the world, ''The Dandy'', ''The Beano'', and ''Comic Cuts'', are all British, although in modern times British comics have been largely superseded by American comic books and Japanese manga.
==Overview==

The description ''comics'' derived from the names of popular titles such as ''Comic Cuts'', and from the fact that in the beginning all the titles presented only comic (humorous) content.
British comics typically differ from the American comic book. Although historically they shared the same format size, based on a sheet of imperial paper folded in half, British comics have moved away from this size, adopting a standard magazine size. Until that point, the British comic was also usually printed on newsprint, with black or a dark red used as the dark colour and the four colour process used on the cover. ''The Beano'' and ''The Dandy'' both switched to an all-colour format in 1993.
Originally aimed at the semi-literate working class, the comic eventually came to be seen as childish, and hence was marketed towards children.
Historically, strips were of one or two pages in length, with a single issue of a comic containing upwards of a dozen separate strips, featuring different characters, although strips now last longer and tend to continue over a number of issues and period of time.
Whilst some comics contained only strips, other publications have had a slightly different focus, providing readers with articles about, and photographs of, pop stars and television/film actors, plus more general articles about teenage life, whilst throwing in a few comic strips for good measure.
In British comics history, there are some extremely long-running publications such as ''The Beano'' and ''The Dandy'' published by D. C. Thomson & Co., a newspaper company based in Dundee, Scotland. ''The Dandy'' began in 1937 and ''The Beano'' in 1938. The Beano is still going today while The Dandy ceased print publication in 2012. The ''Boys' Own Paper'' lasted from 1879 to 1967.
There has been a continuous tradition of black and white comics, published in a smaller page size format, many of them war titles like ''Air Ace'' inspiring youngsters with tales of the exploits of the army, navy and Royal Air Force mainly in the two world wars, also some romance titles and some westerns in this format.
On March 19, 2012, the British postal service, the Royal Mail, released a set of stamps depicting British comic-book characters and series. The collection featured The Beano, The Dandy, Eagle, The Topper, Roy of the Rovers, Bunty, Buster, Valiant, Twinkle and 2000 AD.
