By John Freeman on September 22, 2021

This year’s Beano Christmas Special 2021 is available to order now from the DC Thomson web shop, and will also be on sale in newsagents and supermarkets. Plus there are some great Broons and Oor Wullie releases to enjoy now, too…

Settling down with the Beano Christmas Special 2021 is the ideal way to spend the dark evenings, along with, of course, your BEANO and Dandy annuals, reviewed here by Peter Duncan.

With 68 pages of festive comics, jokes, pranks, puzzles and lots more, the publisher assures us it’s ideal for any Beano fan – plus there are some fun “elf” stickers thrown in, too!

If you’re Broons or Oor Wullie fan, then you’ll be pleased to hear that when it comes to Christmas gifts, you’re well sorted, because The Broons Book, and a smashing Classic Oor Wullie & The Broons Book are also now available, along with tiie-in calendars featuring some of Scotland’s favourite comic characters! Again, these are all available direct from DC Thomson Media. We were sent a set, and we’re looking forward to reading them!
