Another sneak preview

The launch date of The Dandy Annual 2027 is getting closer and it's scheduled to be published next month! (Around 10th August.)

I thought you might like to see another sneak peek at one of my four Dinah Mo stories I did for the book. Here are a couple of panels before they were lettered, as Dinah and her Mum encounter pollution in the woods! Just the sort of thing that will spur environmentally-conscious Dinah into action to find out the culprits!

As I've mentioned before these stories will be my final contributions to D.C. Thomson publications now I'm semi-retired and have scaled down my output. I've contributed to every Dandy Annual from the 2012 to 2025 editions (missed the 2026 one) and now the 2027 annual, so it's been a good run.

The Dandy Annual 2027 is available to pre-order now from various online sellers.

COVER ART BY THE SHARP BROS.
