*Humour Comics: Continuing our policy of providing more information for Beano and Dandy, we have a new batch of Beano in this week from 1966, a year totally unrepresented in our listing for some time prior to this. Ah, 1966: England swung, the Beatles had conquered America, James Bond and the Man from UNCLE showed us that spying was all about gadgetry and England won the World Cup; Dalekmania, Thunderbirds Were Go and Holy Priceless Collection of Etruscan Snoods… None of which had anything to do with the Beano, which came from Scotland, of course. 1966 was not a good year for character debuts, but we do have three issues with promotional flyers (for Bimbo, Sparky and Hotspur), plus Fireworks and Christmas issues. It was a good time to be alive…
