Dandy Do Well?

Nice to see him, to see him….NICE!

Sir Bruce Forsyth twirls onto the cover of this week’s BIGGER Dandy, as the comic adds four extra pages to its total, brining the page count up to thirty six! HOORAY!

But what’s in this super-sized comic, I hear you ask (in my head)? LET ME TELL YOU!

There’s more George vs Dragon joviality, as George lays his hands upon the mystical, dragon-slaying talisman ‘The Star of Power’ – is this the end for Dragon?

Well, obviously it’s NOT the end for Dragon, but still…read it anyway!

Debuting this week is a new mini-strip called ‘The Punslinger’, which is a collaboration between myself and that there Stu Munro, who came up with the original idea. Hooray! Get ready for some Wild West fun over the next six weeks!

Yeeeeehaw!

This week’s Dandy also sees the return of the great Pepperoni Pig and Rocky O’Flair, both by Wayne Thompson, and a much welcome reprint of Jamie Smart’s superlative Space Raoul – pip-pip!

All that for the same pocket-friendly price of £1.50! Didn’t they do well?

Fireworks Knight

REMEMBER, REMEMBER, the fifth of November….why? Because there’s a special Fireworks Night-based edition of The Dandy out NOW, that’s why!

Inside you’ll find some great fireworks-themed strips, such as Harry Hill by Nigel Parkinson, Korky the Cat by Phil Corbett, and Postman Prat by Lew Stringer, all ready to make you go ‘ooooooh’ and ‘ahhhhhhh’ from the comfort of your own house.

Meanwhile, this week’s George vs Dragon is absolutely NOTHING to do with fireworks night, instead focusing on Dragon’s birthday – and a nasty birthday surprise is in store for him from a certain knight…

However, I did do George vs Dragon involving fireworks, but it saw print way back in July. Yeah, I know, that makes no sense. But seeing as it is now November the 5th, I thought I’d reprint it HERE for you to enjoy on the day itself! HOORAY! (Click to enlarge).

Happy Bonfire Night, everyone! And be safe!

Ha-Ha-Ha-Halloween

IT’S LESS of a case of ‘trick or treat’ and more a case of ‘treat or treat’ in this week’s Dandy, as it’s a fun-packed Halloween special full of spooky delights!

I’m pleased to say that I’ve got two strips in this creepiest of comics, kicking off with the return of the world’s stupidest spook, Boo!, in a two-page tale of TERROR:

Also, look out for a sneaky cameo by one of my other creepy characters!…

Boo! also gets the privilege of hosting this week’s contents page, so any fans of the gormless ghoul will be in for a treat! It’s only a one-off appearance for now, but if you want more Boo! be sure to let The Dandy know, and maybe he’ll float back into the comic in the future!

There’s also more George vs Dragon this week, with useless wizard Wirlin back to try and help George get rid of Dragon, with naturally rubbish results. Oh, Wirlin!

The terrifying treats continue throughout the issue, with spooky strips for Korky the Cat, by fearsome Phil Corbett, Harry Hill by nefarious Nigel Parkinson, Postman Prat, by loathsome Lew Stringer and a gruesomely grotesque Madvert for ‘My Little Zombie’ by scary Stu Munro.

So, why not be brave and pick up The Dandy, out NOW for a mere £1.50!

It’s FRIGHTFULLY funny! Mwah-hahahahahahahahahahahurgh*cough cough*hurrrrrrrgh.
