comic value, worth is tough.. even using the guides..... so may things to consider..... condition, popularity, scarcity..... that's a tough one... I used to grade and give values to comics for various comic shops....
I would think it would just be a matter of doing the dollar to pound exchange rate,...... that isn't the case though?
my favorite online guide:

UK I found this, it is not online... but it appears that they sell UK comic price guides?

I also found this place, it says it is an online guide.. but I could not quite figure out where?

ebay, keep in mind, are people looking for the "best price" and most comics I see? value higher... and though it is true "they are worth what the next person will pay" mostly, the low end pricings are what you find at times there..... not always.... would not suggest it as a place to find the values though...
hope one or all of these help.... need anything further regarding pricing? feel free to email

As a major Comic Book Store owner and a former traveler to the UK while in the service I can tell you that UK versions of American Comics are pretty much worthless in the US and depends on supply & Demand in the UK. If you can find someone interested in what your selling go for it because I tell my customers that all my comics aren't worth a cent until someone buys it. Price Guides are just that. (A price Guide). I have a near Mint copy of Sub-Mariner & Angel #1. there are less than 10 of that grade known, People have offered me 5 -10 times the high value of the price guide because no one has it and they want it.

I understand your problem. I do not think that there is a comic price guide with UK prices in them.
There are ways round it.
1) Get a US guide and work it out via the exchange rate.
2) Look on the following site to see what they are selling their comics for. I get most of my comics from them, the prices seem fair and they give you small bits of info as to why the comic is valuable.
http://www.silveracre.com/
3) E-bay - This give you an idea what people are prepared to pay for a certain comic. Be careful as people have a strange ways of grading comic eg - This comic is MINT, apart from its folded, there is a jam stain on page 24, there is a chunk out of the back cover and the staples are loose.
