Just heard on Radio Four that the Dandy is threatened with closure. It used to see 2,000,000 copies at its peak and now is only selling 8,000 per week.
Sad times.

7/- Surely not?I've got a collection of beano comics from the mid 90's when they were 35p.
I think this probably has a lot to do with it. I think they now cost £1.50 or something, I used to pay 10p for my Beano when I was a kid. What self respecting kid is going to pay £1.50 on a comic when you can get two cans of Carlsberg for that.Look at the price of them now though, I've got a collection of beano comics from the mid 90's when they were 35p.
I used to buy both, along with Valiant and a few others whose names now escape me.End of an era, we are the Beano and Dandy kids... scary isn't it?
Ha - they were 3d when I bought them! (1.25p!)Look at the price of them now though, I've got a collection of beano comics from the mid 90's when they were 35p.
