Still an enjoyable read, they havena taken too much violence out, and most of the art is just as I remember … but I'm sure it used to be a lot thicker!
Also, where's Desperate Dan and Korky? I thought the Beano was supposed to have taken the popular characters from the Dandy, but only Bananaman seems to have survived :'(.

As a kid in England I always looked forward to the annuals either as a Christmas present, or I would pick them up in the January Sales.

A lot has changed since then, such as Bananaman jumping from Dandy over to Beano, but the majority of the characters are all the same and it was a blast to hang out with them again.

This annual was a lot of fun to read. I took my time, just reading a story or two as the mood took me. The stories flow well and had me chuckling often. It seems with age my sense of humor has shifted to align more closely with Beano now.

I think anyone could enjoy this, although if you aren't from England you might not understand some of the slang or cultural references like playing conkers.

I love the beano. I may not read it weekly any more but I binge the annual every Christmas in the space of an hour.

I'll never stop reading the Beano, it's a national treasure and I hope it continues for a long time! Good range of characters and strips in this one. Enjoyable read as always!

Oh it's been a while since I have read a Beano Annual and boy how I missed it. All the old favourites were there Dennis and Gnasher, Billy Whizz and The Bash Street Kids. Maybe if I was younger it would have merited a higher rating.
