*Humour Comics: 1970 was a transitional year for the Beano Summer Special, as Dennis the Menace took over front cover prominence from the former featured character, Biffo the Bear, marking a new era for the veteran title. The format remained unchanged, however: oversized pages (13″ x 10″) with more colour and better paper than the weekly, making for an extra-sized treat for the traditional British family Summer break. This is a remarkably clean and bright copy, no sign of the horizontal folding often plaguing these larger items, very minor corner and edge wear, but firm spine and tight staples, with all the regular features from the weekly; Dennis the Menace, Bash Street Kids, Minnie the Minx, Billy the Cat, General Jumbo, the Q-Karts and more are waiting inside for you!
