Beano No.3926 is in the shops now, still going every week and building up to its 80th anniversary in July. It's never needed to reboot with a new No.1 and sales have even climbed over the last few years. Plus, unlike most other kids' comics today, it's very rarely bagged with a stack of gifts. Beano sells on its own merits.
At £2.50 for 36 full colour pages it's the best value comic on the stands too. Here's a list of this week's contents...

Any issue with Betty and the Yeti is a good issue. It's an absolute gem.

Four quid for 8 pages?!? He needs to find a cheaper printer.
Spot on Lew about the value and the occasional tat. I wont pay what usually amount to double the cover price for a comic with rubbish that's thrown about the house! Thankfully the Beano has reigned this in to only a few issues year. Great to see you back as well Lew!
