About the series

The Beano Summer Special was a long-running annual from D.C. Thomson that collected sunny, oversized adventures of the Beano's beloved mischief-makers from 1963 to 2005. Spanning 42 issues, these summer-only editions brought together classic strips by regulars like David Sutherland, Dudley D. Watkins, and Gordon Bell, offering a heftier dose of Dennis the Menace and the Bash Street Kids than the weekly comic could hold. It was a treasured seasonal staple for generations of British kids, providing a fat, colorful package of slapstick, pranks, and summer-holiday escapism.
