Available to purchase today (26 July), the magazine “commemorates everything that’s great about being a kid in 2023”, with issues also being donated to UK schools, a press release details. Since its creation, it has created a number of household children’s characters, most notably Dennis the Menace and his dog Gnasher. Mike Stirling, Director of Mischief at Beano said, “As Beano proudly celebrates its 85th anniversary, it continues to champion the power and joy of childhood by doing what it’s always done, showing kids being kids. That’s not all though as the Prince and Princess of Wales will also feature in the comic along with singer Dua Lipa. The special year will be commemorated across 2023 with a special comic issue, a national press and media campaign, schools’ activity and special appearances from the comic’s celebrity fans.

The world’s longest running comic, The Beano, is marking its 85th anniversary this week with guest appearances from top stars including Stormzy and Harry Styles. The King can be seen wondering if he is the monarch in Beanotown, and the Queen informs him that children rule in the fictional town. The 85th Anniversary Issue of Beano is available in selected supermarkets and newsagents, from Wednesday, July 26. Other notable stars to grace the comic include Euros winning lioness Jill Scott, YouTuber KSI, actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, singer Adele, F1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland – all voted for by kids themselves.
