A fun and exciting mix of comic adventures, pranks, hilarious jokes and activities packed inside every issue, each issue offers 36 pages of giggles, featuring famous characters including Dennis, Gnasher, Minnie, Bananaman, Billy Whizz and more.

If you still need convincing, you can “Try Before You Buy” – check out the latest issue, Beano 4257, here on the official BEANO website. Get a taste of what’s inside this week’s awesome comic…

Lost and Found… in “Betty and the Yeti”, Betty loses her hair bobble in Yeti’s fur, so resident BEANO super brain Rubi offers to shrink her to the size of a peanut to help her look in his thick coat. This leads to an adventure Betty will never forget!

When Stevie Star spots Gnasher messing around on a skateboard, he sees the opportunity to score a viral post on social media. But will Dennis’ four-legged pal show off his skills on camera? Spoiler: absolutely not.

When Minnie invites Toots over for dinner, she remembers her dad wasn’t impressed with the trail of destruction left from her last visit. This calls for an awesome disguise!

Artful Dodger! Roger’s plans to dodge out of doing work in art class backfires in a spectacular way. In a bid to avoid getting extra work from Miss Mistry, he hides out and finds himself in a stinky bin!

Wild Wild West! The Bash Street Kids are dressed in cowboy hats this week and cause havoc in a dusty town in the Wild West. Has someone used Rubi’s Time Machine or is there a sensible explanation for this unusual setting?

Why not give it a try for your kids? Get ready for weekly happy post flying through your letterbox, bursting with epic adventures, hilarious jokes, and loads more, delivered to your door every Saturday.

Oh, and do check out the BEANO website while you’re subscribing – it’s absolutely rammed with fun stuff you can read for free… you might even say it’s a monster in itself!
