Beano goes pop with Art & Hue!

By John Freeman on March 28, 2018

As part of the ongoing celebrations throughout 2018 to mark 80 years of Beano, Art & Hue has created a new collection of stylish pop art prints inspired by the iconic British comic.

Art & Hue has delved into vintage issues to create 12 new stylish and minimal art prints featuring the much-loved comic-strip heroes, all available in a choice of three sizes and 18 colours.

First published in 1938, Beano has delighted generations of readers for 80 years and its cheeky humour is part of the British DNA.

An official collaboration with Beano publishers DC Thomson, Art & Hue’s stylish pop art collection features the beloved characters of Dennis with his faithful dog Gnasher, the Bash Street Kids, Minnie the Minx, Lord Snooty, Roger the Dodger and Biffo the Bear.

The full alphabet of letters, from across 80 years of Beano‘s history, is available with, or without, personalisation to add a name or place for a special bespoke touch.

Exclusively by Art & Hue, all pop art prints are printed on museum-quality archival card of 310gsm, made from 100% cotton, using fine art pigment inks which last hundreds of years.

Ideal for the young, and the young-at-heart, discover the full collection online at artandhue.com/beano
