Comics hit the mainstream news in England last week with the release of the much anticipated relaunch and revamp of the iconic comic The Dandy.
My personal favourite is probably the Sun’s ever witty puns... Chez and Si look Dandy. Featuring a little clip of Simon Cowell skipping through Xfactorville!
The Dandy is Britain’s longest running comic book and the third longest in the world. I remember it most for it’s character Desperate Dan. Sales figures have dropped since 2006 and this is DC Thomson’s latest attempt to reignite public interest in the comic.
Harry Hill adorns the front cover anticipating his new strip written entitled Harry Hill’s Real-Life Adventures in TV-Land (Featuring Knitted Character). Considering I hate TV Burp, it doesn’t appeal to me to check out the new Dandy… Although the references to the other celebrities sound hilarious! But not particularly, as Bleeding Cool points out, child orientated? So, on this note I’ll leave it to Bleeding Cool to make their (as always) informed opinion on the first issue.
