The latest Dandy comic – counting down to the final print edition, on sale at the beginning of December – features a cover from what we’re told is the 1967 Dandy annual featuring Korky the Cat. (Thanks to George Shiers for the info)
The issue has some great strips including Terry Bave’s Winker Watson, a remake of the classic Corporal Clott by Nigel Auchterlounie and a reprint of the Charlie Grigg Korky strip from the ’67 annual.
Over on the official Dandy website the clock continues to count down to the relaunch of the title as a digital edition… Just nine days to go!
