Editor's Review of the Beano

Parents looking for a publication that offers a bright world of characters and humour for their children to become immersed should look no further than the Beano.

The weekly comic has been running since 1938 and has since become a staple of every British boy and girl's shopping basket when it comes to spending their pocket money.

Featuring world-famous strips such as Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Mix, the Bash Street Kids and Ball Boy, the comic also offers puzzles, jokes and competitions and will always provide a good laugh.

Its 32 vividly-coloured pages are crammed full of escapades and adventures and will be sure to keep even the most active children engaged for hours.

Published by DC Thomson, which also produces the Dandy comic, the Beano is arguably the most successful children's magazine of its kind in the UK, with characters like Dennis the Menace and Gnasher enduring for the majority of its print run.

This year the Beano is celebrating the pair's 60th anniversary, as they first appeared in a comic strip in 1951.

The two favourites currently star in their own television show - aired on the CBBC channel - and fans of the programme could update themselves on the goings on in the world of Dennis and Gnasher by picking up the Beano every week.

Aimed at five to ten-year-olds, the comic also comes with a complementary website with previews of upcoming issues, more jokes, interactive games and a community for Beano readers to connect with like-minded kids in a safe environment.
