Beano Comics

Dennis the Menace: 1980's
I've just been watching Dennis, the live version of Dennis the Menace and it made me think of the Beano franchise.

Its a little before my time, but I remember I used to read them when I was younger. My dad had loads of the originals from the 1980s and I loved them. Its a shame they dont still do them like this, the art direction of the retro Beano is fantastic...

I think that some of the newer Beano comics are too realistic. I know theyre still cartoon so that sounds rediculous, but looking back at the older more original comics, the drawings were so much simpler and less polished. To me that is what a comic book is all about, or it might aswell be a book with real actors in it.
