The Broons #2022

Scotland's beloved Broon family takes centre stage in this 2021 annual, with the whole clan dressed up and larking about in a Novelty Photos Studio — Granpaw strikes a pose, Maw and Paw cut loose on the dance floor, and one of the lads goes full superhero in a caped costume while the wee ones and an eager photographer complete the cheerful chaos. It's a cover that captures everything warmly familiar about this long-running D.C. Thomson strip: generational comedy, daft costumes, and a family that throws itself into fun with gleeful abandon. A delightful pick-up for fans old and new.
