Greenwood Press, Westport, first edition, 1975. Cloth, 4to, 29 cm,. xiv, 210 pp. From a contemporary review: "This work is remarkable in its thoroughness and comprehensiveness of detail and is of great seriousness; it is also wonderfully entertaining to browse in. Its brief introduction, which deals with the history and vicissitudes of British comics .. is fascinating." Covers some 1900 titles, aiming to identify every comic printed, published, and originated in Britain. Arranged alphabetically by title, inclusive dates of publication are given where known, as are the number of issues published, together with details concerning publishers (and distributors if different); variations in price, size, and number of pages over a period are noted, as are changes in colour-printing practice.
