Overview
- The 75th anniversary issue goes on sale on Tuesday, March 17, in selected shops and online.
- Seventy-five famous figures are reimagined as 10-year-olds, including King Charles, Elton John, Harry Styles, Stormzy and Ozzy Osbourne, with the list chosen by children across the UK.
- All 75 appear together on an eight-page fold-out cover, the longest in Beano history.
- Beano positions the celebration as a push for humour, creativity and a love of reading, with Director of Mischief Mike Stirling noting Dennis’s enduring 10-year-old spirit since his 1951 debut.
- The launch kicks off Beano’s Year of Mischief featuring live experiences, partnerships and support for the National Year of Reading, following February’s commemorative 50p coin with Dennis and Gnasher.
