Desperate Dan Book

A short-lived but fondly remembered D.C. Thomson title, Desperate Dan Book ran for just five issues between 1955 and 1993, collecting the riotous adventures of the iconic, pie-loving cowboy from The Dandy. Associated with the classic British comic tradition of broad slapstick and exaggerated characters, each annual-sized volume offered a hearty helping of Dan's town-smashing, bull-wrangling escapades. Its sparse run and long gaps between issues only add to its curious charm for fans of vintage UK comics.
