*Humour Comics: War-time issues of Dandy are not common; later in the war, paper rationing forced publication down to fortnightly (alternating with stable-mate Beano) from its original weekly status. What is unusual about the two 1940 issues featured here is the propaganda nature, emphasized by the Addie & Hermy the Nasty Nazis strip, lampooning the German war leaders. We have shown these below. If you look closely, you’ll see similar themes in some of the regular features, such as Korky and his friends throwing darts at Hitler balloons on the cover of #128. These are remarkable condition copies, far nicer than others we’ve seen, with bright colours, nice white to off-white pages and just a tiny amount of foxing with the odd tiny nick; virtually no creasing.
