I have been looking around on the internet and their appears to be some vagueness regarding the runs of Dandy and Beano Comic Libraries.

I am pretty sure they started at the same time in 1982 with 2 Beano and 2 Dandy libraries very month.

Does anyone know what month in 1982 they began?

Does anyone also know how long both titles lasted and what issue numbers they reached?

The highest Beano Comics Library I have is 329 from 1995 so it ran at least that long.

April 1982 for the Beano, April 1983 for the Dandy.
