Hi all.
I just found that there was a UK magazine called Comic Heroes. Unsurprisingly it deals with Comics (and Heroes I suppose). Looks really good. Have found about 8 issues of the 30 odd run. Just wondered if anyone has any hidden away. It is obviously long defunct now.

I've got PDFs of #25, 26, 29, 30, 31, and 32.  I'm sure you probably have those (and 2 more I don't have :D ).  I've never seen any actual SCANS of that title, though.  These issues are from 2015-2017, so while the mag may well be defunct, it still seems relatively recent to me when you consider that Wizard, the most successful and one of the longest running (20 years) comics mags (in the USA at least) ceased publication in 2011.

I've got hundreds of comics mags in need of scanning lying about in my closets, but they're all American.

LOL, just did a search at the Internet Archive, and there seems to be around 22 issues available.  <slaps self> Gotta remember to always check the biggest file repository in the world first.  ;D

They all seem to be rips of publisher-produced PDFs - the kind with the true-type font crystal-clear text combined with super compressed looks-like-ass images.  Why publishers thought that was the best way to sell their product, I'll never know.

LOL. Been doing this long enough now to have thought of checking Internet Archive but totally didn't. That'll do nicely. Will also see if I can find any for Wizard. Quite new to comics so I have not heard of it before. Comics seem fairly overwhelming if I'm honest.

Cheers.
