Beano Annual 2022

Product Information

Back: Nessie is now joining in the fun, letting the Beano kids climb on him and use him as a waterslide. Front: Dennis, Lord Snooty, Biffo, Buster, Little Plum, Bash Street Pups, Grandpa, Billy Whizz, Ball Boy, and Tom, Dick and Sally are having their photo taken by the (then-current) Beano Editor in the Beano Office. Front: Dennis, Gnasher, and all the other characters (some retired) are flying through space, using special vehicles. Biffo is hanging from a tree, Dennis is holding a lobster near his foot (this was the first Beano annual to feature him on the cover), and a monkey is sawing the branch Biffo is hanging from. After paper rationing had ended, The Magic Comic was never revived, but some of the characters who had originally appeared in the pre-war Magic Comic remained as regular strips in the post-1950 Beano Comic (such as Koko the Pup).

Front: All the characters are crammed on to the front cover (one of whom is "Edd Case", the Numskulls' boy).Big Eggo and Koko the Pup are having a three-legged race with all the other characters running behind them. Biffo the Bear and Koko are fighting in front of a taxi, while all the other characters are trying to stop them.

The comic's title is displayed in large letters – with pictures of Dennis, Danny, Wilfrid, Little Plum, Toots, Roger, Plug, and upside-down Smiffy on the top; and Jonah, Minnie, Biffo, Sidney, Fatty, Kat and the Bash Street Teacher (with Kanary on his nose) below. Front: Little Plum and Minnie the Minx (the latter is wearing a red-and- yellow striped jumper) are blowing up a giant balloon which is shaped like Biffo's head.Back: Many other kids from Beanotown are also seen boarding the train, and Bananaman is flying overhead with a rope, intending to pull the train along the tracks. Back: Dennis and Gnasher's winning raft is revealed to have been pushed by a dolphin in a Menace jumper (who, after he became a regular feature, was named "Splasher").
