British Update: Fine and Dandy! 150 issues of Dandy Weekly between 1951 and 1976
*Humour Comics: The pioneer of D.C. Thomson’s humour weeklies – yes, even older than the Beano – Dandy launched in 1937, and finally hung up its hat in 2012, but in between those dates, there were decades of mirth with well-remembered characters (Desperate Dan, Korky the Cat, Black Bob, Winker Watson) and several… less well-remembered (Captain Whoosh, Spunky and His Spider, Bodger the Bookworm and the Wooden Submarine – to name but a few!). We have a huge update this week, a handful from the years 1951 to 1953, then touching lightly on the early & mid-Sixties before settling down into a nice solid selection from the 1970s.
