Dandy Annual 2022

Product Information

The Dandy Annual is the current name of the book that has been published by D.C. Thomson every year since 1938, to tie in with the children's comic The Dandy. As of 2020 there have been eighty-three editions, with another ( The Dandy Annual 2021) due. The annuals are traditionally published in August, in time for Christmas, and since 1965 they have had the date of the following year on the cover. Before then no date was given.

In 1982 the Dandy comic libraries were released, which later became known as the Fun Size Dandy. These were small-format comics usually featuring one or two long stories starring characters from The Dandy and occasionally other DC Thomson comics. From 1938 to 1951 the annuals were called The Dandy Monster Comic. The name changed to The Dandy Book in the following year and continued, the year changing for each different annual, until the release of the 2003 book in 2002 when it was renamed "Annual". This information is necessary to identify older annuals which were not dated. If an annual is dated 1950, it would have been published in August 1949. Prices are in shillings and pence with one shilling equal to 5p. In September 1985, the ailing Nutty was merged with The Dandy, bringing with it the Bananaman strip. Just over a year later, the short-lived Hoot was also merged with The Dandy, most notably incorporating the character Cuddles into the pre-existing comic strip Dimples to form Cuddles and Dimples, another of The Dandy's longest running comic strips.
