- 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 two most popular British comics, The Beano and The Dandy, were released by DC Thomson in the 1930s. By 1950 the weekly circulation of both reached two million. Explaining the enormous popularity of comics in British popular culture during this period, Anita O’Brien, director curator at London's Cartoon Museum, states: "When comics like The Beano and Dandy were invented back in the 1930s – and through really to the 1950s and 60s – these comics were almost the only entertainment available to children." In 1954, Tiger comics introduced Roy of the Rovers, the hugely popular football based strip recounting the life of Roy Race and the team he played for, Melchester Rovers. The stock media phrase "real 'Roy of the Rovers' stuff" is often used by football writers, commentators and fans when describing displays of great skill, or surprising results that go against the odds, in reference to the dramatic storylines that were the strip's trademark. Other comics such as Eagle, Valiant, Warrior, Viz and 2000 AD also flourished. Some comics, such as Judge Dredd and other 2000 AD titles, have been published in a tabloid form. Underground comics and "small press" titles have also appeared in the UK, notably Oz and Escape Magazine. While the best selling comics in the UK have been British, American comic books and Japanese manga are popular in the UK. (en)
- La historieta o cómic británico es una de las tradiciones de historieta más importantes a nivel europeo, aunque ha sufrido en ocasiones la estrechez e incluso crisis de su mercado. Actualmente, su mercado interior no es especialmente potente, de tal forma que muchos de sus autores han acabado recalando en el cómic estadounidense. (es)
- L'expression « bande dessinée britannique » désigne les bandes dessinées connaissant leur première publication au Royaume-Uni, généralement produites par des auteurs britanniques. Pays traditionnellement moins porté vers la bande dessinée que d'autres nations européennes comme la Belgique ou la France, le Royaume-Uni n'en est cependant pas exempt. Depuis l'apparition d'Ally Sloper en 1867, de nombreux héros ont marqué la population (Andy Capp, Dan Dare, Judge Dredd, etc.), grâce à des revues fortement diffusées comme Comic Cuts (1890-1953), The Beano (1938-) ou encore 2000 AD (1977-).

- De Britse strip (of comic) is het geheel van beeldverhalen gemaakt door auteurs uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk en beeldverhalen bestemd voor de Britse markt. (nl)
