The Beano Annual 2006

Product Information

Front: Dennis, Biffo the Bear, Walter and the Bash Street Kids are taking part in the "Beano Marathon".

Front: Dennis and Gnasher are standing back-to-back, Gnasher on top of a pile of recent Beano annuals holding a bag of peas.

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Because of his popularity, Dennis the Menace has appeared on the front cover of every annual since the release of the 1979 book in 1978. Dennis kicks a football, which bounces off all the other then-current characters like a pinball and into a goal. Front: Dennis and Minnie are having a paintball fight in the snow (there is also a "Dandy/Beano 50 Years Young" logo, seen in the bottom-right corner of this annual's cover).

Front: Roger (top left), Minnie (top middle), Billy Whizz (top right), the Bash Street Kids (middle left), and Ivy the Terrible (bottom middle). The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. All the (then-current) characters are gathered around Big Eggo, who has something spherical stuck in his throat. Front: Dennis and Gnasher are driving their Menace Car through a computer-generated world, trying to escape from an army of weird Beano robots (as there was a story about them travelling to a planet inhabited by them, and destroying them, in the annual). Front: Dennis, Minnie, and Gnasher are practicing karate; Gnasher is wearing a karategi with a red belt.Front: All the characters are at the Beano's 75th birthday street party (this was a reference to all the street parties that were held over the country in 2012 to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee). Front: Dennis is walking through Beanotown, and switches on his torch to find many "Beano Bugs" flying around him. Back: Under a magnifying glass, we see Minnie, Billy Whizz, Plug, Toots, Wilf, and Tricky Dicky smiling up. Front: The Bash Street Kids are riding on Little Plum's horse, Treaclefoot, and wearing cowboy hats.
