The Beano and the Dandy arrived in my local WHS last weekend. I, like you, opened the Beano and was immensely disappointed. No problem I thought, the Dandy will be just like the Dandy's of old (and the special last summer was pretty good). So I started looking through it and that was rubbish too. So note to DCT - my money is still in my pocket and not yours. I'm now worried that the 2016 annuals are going to go the same way.
ReplyDeleteMy summer reading solution is to grab some old (paper) specials (or annuals) from the 70s and 80s and read them (I still have a some left that have survived house moves etc.) Nostalgia - I love it.
Yes, both were disappointing, SD, but at least the strips in The Beano were consistently better drawn than (with a few notable exceptions - Steve Bright's Beryl pages, for example) the ones in The Dandy.
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of old DCT Summer Specials from the '70s & '80s - think I'll just read them again.
