The Beano Summer Special
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beano Summer Special is like the Beano with extra comic strips, which as its name suggest was release during the summer months and cost more than the regular comics. The front cover of these comics had one picture which had a caption encouraging the reader to turn to the rear cover to see what happens next. Unlike the traditional Beano of the time, this edition of the comic had a more colourful appearance to it.
