THE DANDY - 75 YEARS...NOW ON SALE!



Earlier than expected, THE DANDY Special Collector's Edition
is now on sale at WH SMITH. Priced at £5.99, it contains a reprint of
the very first issue of Britain's longest-running comic.  I mentioned
this publication almost a fortnight ago on this very blog, and was met
with scathing scepticism as to the veracity of my post.  Perhaps some
people won't be so doubting next time, eh?

The last issue of The Dandy in December will also include a
facsimile of #1.  The above publication was prepared before a
decision had been made on the weekly comic's fate.

UPDATE:  Contrary to information supplied to me earlier, there
are only 24 of the original 28 pages in the reprint of the first issue.  My
source must have assumed it contained the full contents by looking at
the last page, which was numbered 28. Let's hope that the forth-
coming facsimile in December is complete.
