The Dandy Annual 2020 is available now from the D.C. Thomson shop as is the Beano Annual 2020 and will be in bookstores soon!
Will there be a Dandy Annual 2021 as well? You bet! I'm working on it now!
Good to know that there'll be a 2021 annual - though I wouldn't be surprised if Corporal Clott moves over to the Beano's annual, due to him debuting in the weekly comic a few months ago. Bananaman, of course, was removed from the Dandy annuals once he joined the Beano. At least there's plenty of other characters the Dandy annuals can use. They seem to vary the selection slightly each year anyway.
ReplyDeleteBananaman is back in The Dandy Annual this year and he's also in The Beano Annual as part of a crossover.
ReplyDeleteThat must be a first. A crossover between annuals.
DeleteWill definitely be buying on Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteLooking at it again it's not really a crossover, just a footnote that Bananaman also appears in the Beano Annual. A crossover could work though, as long as the stories were self contained. It wouldn't be right to disappoint kids on Christmas Day if one story had a cliffhanger into a book they didn't have.
