About the series
A cornerstone of British comics, The Beano launched in 1938 from D.C. Thomson and became a defining force in children's humour. Its early run, spanning 412 issues through 1950, was shaped by the prolific Dudley D. Watkins, alongside artists Allan Morley and Bill Holroyd, who established the comic's signature mix of anarchic, gag-driven strips. More than just a comic, it forged a lasting template for mischievous, resilient characters that would resonate with generations of readers.
