Today is the day that the Beano's 75th birthday special goes on sale! It's a great achievement, and The Beano is one of the longest running comics in the world, and is the comic with the most issues, with the latest being numbered at a whopping #3695! It's certainly amazing how long it's lasted, how much it's changed and how famous it's become - if you ask just about anybody in the UK what comics they know or read almost everybody will reply with "The Beano"!
Such an achievement deserves celebration, so here are a couple of my favourite strips ever to appear in The Beano! These two pages were remarkably easy to find - being my favourite strips meant I could, much to my surprise, remember exactly which comics they appeared in.
You can buy the 75th issue today, for only £2.50. It' not an issue to be missed, so go and get one now!
