Lew Stringer Comics: Ellis will return!

Ellis will return!

There's no Ellis's Great Escape strip in the Beano next week, but he will be back the following week. He'll skip a few other upcoming issues too. These days the Beano tends to shuffle the mini-strips, or leave them out altogether if the main stories are longer, so I won't be in every week unfortunately.

I will have three strips in an upcoming issue though and I'll tell you about those in a few weeks.

James Spiring said...: Turns out Ellis was still in this issue after all, just not in his own strip - he appeared in the Make Me a Menace story.; 27 March 2020 at 20:27
