| The Beano - Issue 3586 |
So, The Beano, first review in around 13 days or so. So, on with the review!
PG 1: Front Cover: Dennis and Gnasher - Barrie Appleby
(Incredibly poor compared to last week's. Looked like it was put together in 10 minutes...)
PG 2: Advert: Donkey Kong Country Returns
(1. 2 page advert. Yippee. -.- 2. DK Country Returns came out AGES ago, why advertise it now?!)
PG 4: Contents
PG 5: Dennis and Gnasher - Barrie Appleby
PG 8: Ratz - Hunt Emerson
PG 9: Advert: Beano Comic Maker Kit and Beano Summer Annual
PG 10: The Numskulls - Barry Glennard
PG 12: Minnie the Minx - Ken Harrison
PG 14: Meebo and Zuky - Laura Howell
PG 15: BSK Pull Out Cover
(1. What happened to 'BSK Fact File'? 2. Same picture now 3 weeks in a row...)
PG 16: The Bash Street Kids - David Sutherland
PG 18: Playground Pleasers
PG 19: Ball Boy - Dave Eastbury
(I don't care what the Beano Review say about Dave, he's one talented man.)
PG 20: Retro Beano: The Country Cuzzins - Hugh Morren
(Yippee! I've never heard of this strip! Nice choice because it's not one a lot of people had heard of.)
PG 21: Gimme! Gimme!
PG 22: Fred's Bed - David Sutherland
PG 24: Fred's Foul Facts
(Brilliant new title, looks fantastic! Only problem is it's a bit too big now meaning less facts....)
PG 25: Beano Subscription Page
PG 26: Billy Whizz - Nick Brennan
PG 27: Advert: LEGO Pharoh's Quest
PG 28: Roger the Dodger - Robert Nixon
(I'm sorry but what on earth. What was going on here? I'm very scared how Roger's feet are twisted around. O.o Also what's with the joke being a mirror image one, in other words 'flipped'?! Also doesn't take much to fool Roger's mum...)
PG 30: Gnasher's Bite - Jimmy Hansen
(Sadly not on the back cover, and why is that... Cos there's two frickin' adverts on the second to last and back page!!) >:(
PG 31: Advert: Donkey Kong Country Returns Puzzle
PG 32: Advert: Donkey Kong Country Returns
ROUND UP:

Country Cuzzins is the strip which ended to make way for Billy Whizz.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right about DKC Returns being out for ages already - that advert (which annoyingly is also in the Dandy) should've appeared a couple of months ago instead IMHO.
Thanks for the info James, interesting to know!
ReplyDeleteI have a big problem with that advert, 1) As it's the same thing basically for 4 pages, 2) It's in the Dandy as well!! 3) It came out months ago, I should know, I have it!
Late post but anyhow, let's get on with it!
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested, I have the first two appearances of "The Country Cuzzins" in my collection (dated Feb 23/Mar 2nd '63), so if you'd like to see them (or any other strips from the 60's for that matter!) just drop me a line and I can easily put them up on my blog for you! :)
Hi It would be great to see the first 2 appearances of The Country Cuzzins on your blog...Cheers
