Denis Gifford (1927-2000) was a British writer of non fiction. He specialized in the history of popular entertainments such as comic books and horror films.

Gifford wrote more than fifty books from The Best of Eagle (1989) to the comprehensive British Film Catalogue 1895-1985 (1986). He also created several popular programmes for radio and television including Looks Familiar. But it was his collection of more than 20,000 comics that dominated his life.
