The Dandy will be 75 years old next week, when it will be published in print for the last time.

My friend's dad used to draw the cartoons for the Dandy and Beano, and some others - he used to live in Oldbury, but now lives in Halesowen. Rob - you probably know his son from Oldbury Grammar

I loved Beano and Dandy. OH well, at least the characters still exist online.

A bit concerned about the comic collectors on the same page.

Give us nerds a bad name looking like that :P
