DC Thomson has three comic treats for fans of BEANO and The Dandy out next month, including a Bash Street Kids collection.
Beano Presents: The Bash Street Kids, featuring art by much-missed artist David Sutherland, drops into bookshops and other outlets on 1st May. Branded “The Ultimate Series”, given this new book was initially offered as “Volume One” before a cover revision, we’re assuming more are in the works…
The Bash Street Kids are the class every teacher dreads… and it’s just got worse for the long-suffering teacher of Class 2B! Danny, Toots, Plug and the team are joined by three new arrivals – Mahira, Stevie and Khadija – who are just as fun-loving and rebellious as they are, and together they’re going to give Teacher a lesson in maximum chaos!
This first volume of Bash Street Kids comics collects together 68 pages of hilarious classroom chaos, illustrated by legendary artist David Sutherland.
This BSK release is quickly followed by the Beano Summer Activity Special 2024 and The Dandy Summer Special, both out on 15th May, which should both be available in your local newsagents and supermarkets, as well as via online outlets.
What could be better than no school for ages? Your summer holidays filled with fun from the Beano Summer Special 2024, that’s what! With 68 pages of the funniest comics, jokes, pranks, puzzles, adventure and more, it’s perfect for Beano fans of all ages, and includes free stickers.
It’s that time of year again – the sun is shining, school’s finished for ages and The Dandy Summer Special is back, reviving the much-missed partner comic to BEANO, which sadly drew to a close some years back as a print title. Rain or shine, indoors or outdoors, The Dandy‘s favourite characters will keep you entertained all summer long!
Alongside hilarious comics sourced from archives starring Desperate Dan, Beryl the Peril, Cuddles and Dimples and more, are new strips exclusive to this volume! Packed full of fun, it’s the only holiday souvenir you need! Summer just got Dandy!
DC Thomson haven’t revealed what’s included in the new strips in this, or who’s in them – but they’ll probably start teasing details soon on their social media.
