A little teaser poster I knocked up in honour of the BIG FIGHT in this week's Dandy!
LEEEETTTTT’S GEEEEET RRRREEEAAADDDY TOOO RRRRRUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLEEE!
The latest issue of the increasingly excellent Dandy has arrived on my doorstep today, and it is a DOOZY!
First up, we have the grudge-match that’s been in the making for DECADES, as The Dandy’s very own Desperate Dan takes on The Beano’s Dennis the Menace , in this week’s Arena of Awesome , by Jamie Smart . It’s really good fun, and Jamie’s take on Dennis (as can be seen in the little teaser poster I knocked up above) is excellent. Awesome, INDEED.
Then there’s the second of my very own strip, Boo! , in which the useless ghoul tries to terrify an OLD LADY. With hilarious results! (Hopefully).
Thirdly, The Etherington Brothers (the cartooning geniuses behind the DFC’s excellent Monkey Nuts ) bring their highly-anticipated and stupidly gorgeous strip Yore to the comic – here’s a taster of the wonders to come:
YORE-some!
As well as all THAT goodness, there’s a two-page Mr. Meecher by Will Dawbarn , and Valentine’s Day -based woe for both Lew Stringer’s Postman Prat , and Phil Corbett’s Korky the Cat .
All that AND a little tiny cameo by George (from my George vs Dragon strip) – and it’s not even by me! Wowzers!
So there you go, an action-packed, fun-stuffed and ever-so slightly romantic issue of The Dandy ! Pick it up at all good stockists from Wednesday the 9th of February , for only £1.50 – you’ll LOVE IT!
- Fanton.

I’m looking forward to Boo!, Yore and the Arena of Awesome most. They’re all gonna be AWESOME! And by that I mean I’m going to be awe-struck… in a good way. >:3

I could almost hate them for it, if they weren’t such lovely guys, too! You’re right about Boo! – I think next one’s is one of my personal favourites!

Martin Bazley says: February 11, 2011 at 1:07 pm (UTC 0) Reply I couldn’t believe it when I read the Arena of Awesome – the Dandy is actually better at writing Dennis as a sympathetic and interesting protagonist than the Beano . When it gets to that point, you know something’s gone seriously wrong. I did leave a comment on the Beano website (see here ) but it was moderated. In fact, the Beano seems to be trying their absolute hardest to pretend the episode never happened.
