Following the popularity of the company’s first book in 2013, which reprinted the classic Christmas covers of Beano and The Dandy from 1937-1969, this book celebrates some of the very best front covers of our two favourite British comics from 1937 to 1988, their first 50 years.

Published under license from Beano Studios, the eighty Beano covers and eighty covers of The Dandy chosen are some of the most iconic and attractive front covers, made up of firework, Easter, new year, Christmas, landmark issues, birthday numbers, free gift editions “and some that just tickled our fancy,” says Phil Shrimpton, an avid fan of the Beano for many, many years.
