Re: The Final Dandy

Re: The Final Dandy
It's right there next to the barcode on the back cover, so the cheaper price is definitely correct. The online shop overcharged.big bad bri wrote:Can anyone who owns a cooy definetly confirm the cover price £3.99 or £5.49.

Never heard of him! Could someone with the Monster Index or Art and History book tell us the exact dates?dandy mad wrote:Whiskery Dick appeared in the Dandy in the late 40s early 50sAndyB wrote:Yes, he was wearing a trilby.

Re: The Final Dandy
Thanks, but those issue numbers don't look right. The Dandy was still fortnightly at that time (weekly publication resumed in 1949), and even if it was weekly, 29/3/1947 would be issue 350. That date is actually issue 341.
If it did only last four months, that explains why I've not encountered it before - Ken definitely picked an obscure one!

Should have put 1948 for its last fortnightly appearance post edited accordingly....Digifiend wrote: Thanks, but those issue numbers don't look right.

Re: The Final Dandy

Re: The Final Dandy
So I may be a bit mad doing this, but, I thought I'd take a long shot as my copy of the final Dandy still has not arrived. I've just been out for a drive to Sainsbury's, Tesco's, Asda and the Co-op in Stafford to see if I could get my hands on a copy.
Again, I've been left disappointed as there was not a single copy to be found (thinking as it's late, they might put copies out?). Even the Beano was only to be found in Sainsbury's and Tesco.
Now I'm hoping to high heaven that my copy will be waiting for me with the Postman tomorrow.....

Re: The Final Dandy
It's not actually published until tomorrow, only subscription copies have been sent out, as usual, a few days early. So don't panic yet, it's not in any shops. Don't even panic if it's not out on Tuesday.Ordered copies by mail are being sent out today so they won't arrive until Tuesday or Wednesday.booksandcomics wrote:So I may be a bit mad doing this, but, I thought I'd take a long shot as my copy of the final Dandy still has not arrived....

Re: The Final Dandy
I don't think so, Digifiend. I think the DCT shop price includes postage and handling.

Re: The Final Dandy
If you are interested, just go to eBay and search for "Dandy last issue". You may be surprised on what people are trying to sell the last issue for.
