Beano comics are they worth anything?

Answer 1

Simple answer: Yes, there is. Informative answer: The Beano comic does exist, but that's not all... you can also join the Beano Club, and receive the comic by post. You can also get e-mails, letters, minimags, etc... And there is a Beano website. So the Beano is not only a comic, that's for sure!

Answer 2

Probably if they are in good condition. Are they hard or soft cover? Annuals? First edition? torn or ripped? Faded, stained or marked? Many questions. Generally only a couple of quid though unless there is something special.

Answer 3

Over the years, a number of notable artists have drawn Beano strips; perhaps the most notable is Leo Baxendale, who drew Minnie the Minx and the Bash Street Kids for a number of years before moving to Fleetway comics. Minnie The Minx was taken over by Jim Petrie who drew it until his retirement, then by Tom Paterson and Barry Glennard.

Current artists include David Sutherland (who has been drawing the Bash Street Kids since 1961), Tom Paterson (whose idiosyncratic style is compared to Baxendale's, and often includes surreal humour and non-sequiturs, such as a single steaming sock in one frame of the strip), Nigel Parkinson, Nick Brennan, Dave Eastbury, Barry Glennard, Laura Howell (the first long-running female artist on the comic), Lew Stringer, Hunt Emerson, Jimmy Hansen, John Geering and Kev F. Sutherland.

Answer 4

Some Beano comics can be worth money, especially older issues in good condition or those featuring first appearances of popular characters. The value can vary depending on the specific issue, rarity, condition, and demand among collectors. It's best to research current market trends or consult with a comic book appraiser to determine the worth of specific issues.
