Library

Verso Media Library

Comics, magazines, books and proper archive rabbit holes.

Thousands of comics, magazines and books collected in one place, ready to browse, read and revisit whenever nostalgia decides to start knocking.

From classic British comics and music magazines to fiction, non-fiction and all sorts of oddities, the Library is built for anyone who enjoys falling into the past and resurfacing three hours later wondering what happened.

Roy of the Rovers cover

ROY OF THE ROVERS

Before social media, fantasy football and endless transfer rumours, there was Roy Race. The greatest footballer never to exist, leading Melchester Rovers through title races, cup finals, injuries, kidnappings, unlikely comebacks and enough drama to make modern football look positively sensible.

The Library currently contains 737 of the 851 issues published, making Roy of the Rovers one of the largest collections on the site. There’s still work to do though, and if you can help fill any of the missing gaps in the run, please get in touch. Every issue brings the collection one step closer to completion.

What started as a few scans and a bit of nostalgia has somehow turned into one of the largest freely accessible collections of British comics, magazines and books you’ll find anywhere online. New material is added regularly, so there’s always another forgotten favourite waiting to be rediscovered.
