Illustrated Chips

A long-running British comic paper from Amalgamated Press, Illustrated Chips debuted in 1890 and became a staple of the UK’s early comic scene. Though its full run spanned well over a century, its initial six-issue launch set the template for the humor and adventure strips that would define the publisher’s output. The series is best remembered for its pioneering use of recurring characters and serialized storytelling, helping to establish the weekly comic format in Britain. Its legacy lies in its longevity and influence on the development of British comics.
