Advance covers of DC Thomson Media’s 2023 annuals, including BEANO and The Dandy, have been revealed.
These annuals will go on sale in shops and online from the beginning of August. No content details have been announced yet.
The DC Thomson online store is often first to offer pre-orders for these titles, with bundle offers and more.
While most of the annuals have been listed on AmazonUK, at present you can only add them to a wish list.
However, BEANO fans can pre-order the Beanopedia Revised and Expanded 85th Anniversary edition, out in June.
This mischievous guide contains everything you ever wanted to know about Beanotown – character profiles for all your favourite residents, including Dennis, Gnasher, Minnie and Bananaman, and much more.
The Beanopedia: The ultimate guide to Beanotown and its inhabitants was first published in 2020, still available here.

Ugh, could they please not use the same colour for the covers of the Classic Beano/Dandy and Classic Oor Wullie/Broons books? They’ll look too similar on the shop shelves.
They’ve been doing that for years so presumably it hasn’t impacted sales so far…
