Beano, the Reviews

The Beano is an extremely well known comic for young boys and girls. I have just subscribed to it for my sons, and I used to read it avidly every week, many moons ago. Firstly a little history. The Beano is now in its 71st year as it issued its first copy in July 1938. The current issue in the shops is number 3497, which is some ...  Read the complete review

As a Tom Boy this was my comic of choice and I had it delivered weekly. I fondly remember having to fight my dad and my grand-dad (at Christmas) for it as well as updating my uncle on new characters. What I loved about the Beano is that it is unashamedly for the kids and that the adults drawing and writing the cartoons take such delight in them ...  Read the complete review

The Beano is a comic book for kids, which has been available every week for the past 65 years. I was first bought the Beano by my uncle when I was 9 years old, he bought it for me because he used to always read it when he was younger, as soon as I read that first comic I was hooked and for about 10 years I don’t think I missed an issue! Then as I ...  Read the complete review

Back 1937 the new commic "The Beano" was released, i wasn't around to know about it back then, however i am very much here now. More to the point the beano is great for people of all ages, kids, adults, inbetween (well actually not inbetween). Anyway my point is you should read the beano at least twice a month until the day you die ...  Read the complete review

Whether your way up high, or way down low, the best of the best comes in the form of the Beano! Yes - it is true! Now totally enjoyable by all the family and still only the cost of a really big Mars Bar. Having produced over 3000 editions of this timeless classic, the Beano/Dandy studios still continue to reel off this now completely ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ As a boy growing up I was reared on staple diet of children’s comics, of which The Beano was a particular favourite up until the time I was about ten or eleven years old. I then moved on to more serious fare such as the Hotspur, Victor, and the Tiger, which were crammed full of exciting yarns and heroes to captivate the enquiring ...  Read the complete review

Okay, I know I really shouldn't be reading The Beano. It's not as if I get read it every week... Okay, I do. I read the Beano every single week, and love it. It has everything a small child, or an older person with a childs spirit trapped inside them, could ever want. Colourful pictures, genuinely funny events, plus ...  Read the complete review

Back in the day the Beano was the number one comic for kids in my opinion. Now I am not that old (twenty six) but I remember how much enjoyment I used to get from it.I used to get the Dandy weekly and my sister used to get the Beano delivered. I always wanted to read the Beano first though which normally ending up in fights which she used to win I ...  Read the complete review

Beano - still THE comic to buy, with its charismatic characters, timeless humour and endless jokes it will never date the Beano looks as good now as it did when I was five or six (and no that wasn't during the war) I used to get my Beano every week, rushing off to the local corner shop with my pocket money at the ready and used to sit ...  Read the complete review

My 7 year old son absolutely adores this comic. He gets really absorbed in it. I recently 'borrowed' a copy to see what was so fascinating and to my delight discovered that a lot of the old characters were still there. Dennis is still getting up to mischief with Gnasher and the Bash Street Kids still rule. It is packed with comic ...  Read the complete review

Since i was a little lad I have always loved The Beano, i think it is a national institution in its own right in the UK. I hope that it goes on for ever and ever. I now collect the special editions and Annuals although I must say that the Annuals seem to be gettin more and more expensive (or is that just me in my old age?) I dont ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a big fan of comics...probably because as a parent I'm the one that gets to fork out two or three quid for a few measley pages of naff storys and advertising! however there is one exception to every rule - and The Beano is it!!! Every Thursday my eight year old son is overcome with an unfathomable desire to go shopping, ...  Read the complete review
