Lew Stringer Comics: The Dandy is back!

The sun's out and so is The Dandy Summer Special! 68 pages packed with vintage material from creators such as Dudley Watkins, Allan Morley, George Martin and more plus some brand new pages this time too! There's a new Postman Prat page by me in there, plus pages by Nigel Parkinson, Laura Howell, Andy Fanton, Alan Ryan, Nigel Auchterlounie, Steve Bright... and Mike Collins on Desperate Dan! Cover by Steve Bright.

Cover art by Steve Bright.

Some of the Dudley Watkins pages from the 1940s are scanned from the original art, so the reproduction is perfect!
