Meet the NEW Dinah Mo in The Dandy Summer Special!

The forthcoming Dandy Summer Special will feature some new characters alongside selected classic reprints and one of the newbies is an all-new version of Dinah Mo!

The original Dinah Mo (initially called Dinah Mite in her early strips in the 1970s) was a boisterous girl who always landed in trouble but the new version is an inventive eco warrior who tries to put things right. Her name is Dinah Modose and she was created by the D.C. Thomson staff who then assigned me to write and draw the stories. 

Obviously the key is to be entertaining rather than preachy about environmental issues so the usual Dandy fun will still be to the forefront!

The new Dinah Mo makes her debut in a two page story in The Dandy Summer Special 2024, published next month, and she'll also appear in four new stories in The Dandy Annual 2025, out in August. I'm currently plotting three Dinah Mo stories for The Dandy Annual 2026 to be published in Autumn 2025!

The Dandy Summer Special 2024 should be available in WH Smiths in mid-May. You can see a preview of page one of the first Dinah Mo story at the D.C. Thomson online shop, where you can pre-order the upcoming special, at this link...
