Celebrate 65 years of Beano star Minnie the Minx with a 68 page special, available now from UK newsagents, or direct from DC Thomson.
We trailed this new bookazine back in August: it covers everything from the story of her creation in 1953, to the artists who have illustrated her adventures (including current artist Laura Howell), and finally to her rise to Beano cover star today.
With behind the scenes secrets and specially selected reprints from the archive, this is the definitive story of the world’s most famous Minx!
• You can order Minnie – 65 Years of Minxing direct from the DC Thomson web shop here for £6.99 – and it’s also on sale in all good newsagents (although not all of them – you may have better luck in supermarkets)
