Top Secret!

I've written/drawn four two-page strips of a brand new character who will appear in The Dandy Annual 2025 - on sale in September 2024! 

I can't reveal who it is, or show any artwork as that'll be spoilery so, until next year, here's the only spolier-free bit I can show; a sound effect from one of the panels! (I always enjoy lettering sound effects.) No clues here, and, no, loud explosions are not normally part of her character.

More about that strip nearer the publication date, but for now don't forget that I have four new Kid Cops pages in the current book, The Dandy Annual 2024, on sale now!

Man, between this year's annual 2024 and this upcoming one for next year, The Dandy must be starting to experiment more with its content by mixing in some all-new original strips with the 2024 annual (and Summer Special) having My Mum's a Super-Villain (by Gary Boller) and Dandytown Scouts (by Mychailo Kazybrid) and the upcoming 2025 edition having an original creation drawn by you.

Very interesting to hear. I'm always looking forward to what D.C. Thompson's legendary duo of comics bring along every year.

Yes, they decided they needed some fresh new Dandy characters amongst the regulars to shake things up a bit.
