Easter Beano out today

Cover by Nigel Parkinson.
Here's the cover of this year's Easter edition of The Beano, in shops today...

 ...and for comparison, here's the cover of the Easter Beano from half a century ago back in 1967...
Cover by Dudley D. Watkins.

(You can see more of this 1967 issue in a blog post I did last year here:

 Whatever the year, Never Be Without A Beano!

    Yes, it must have seemed quite bizarre to any new reader who picked up the Beano that week!
