UK Star Comics

i have all the US Marvel comics and Wildstorm comics. i did not find out until recently that the UK had a much larger run of comic books. looking through some of them online, they at times seem a bit cheesy. are these worth the high cost to purchase?

are there any histories discussed in these comics worth sharing? i remember seeing something about the Berbil's "secret," what is that?

are any other characters explored in more detail?

I've been considering whether to get these or not, too. I have I think 5 of the 7 annuals, which are mostly reprints, but are still pretty cool. From all that I've read, there are 129 issues of the UK series. I missed out on a lot on ebay not too long ago where there were 78 issues for sale. I think they went for about $1.50 each, which isn't bad at all. I've gotten the annuals for about $5 each including shipping from Britain. They seem pretty easy to find and can be had for fairly cheap.

I've got many of the star issues, and have been trying to scan them all in and make them available for download on my site:

That will at least give you an idea if collecting them might be worth pursuing. Enjoy.

Yes, you've got great info on them, Purrsia! The best on the web, hands down. I think they are kind of unique and quirky, which makes them pretty cool in my eyes. Thanks again for having such a wealth of knowledge and information available on your site!

Thanks! Glad you found it useful.

Angie's (Purrsia's) site definitely is awesome, I've actually referred to it myself a number of times over the years writing content for this site! :)
