This week sees the last issue of the famous Dandy Comic.  First published by Thompsons of Dundee in the late nineteen thirties and featuring such well loved characters as desperate Dan and Corky the Cat
As I was unable to get my hands on an original copy of the Dandy the picture shows a copy of the Dandy's sister comic, The  Beano dated 30th July 1938.  Both the Dandy and the Beano played a major part in the introducing young people to literature and love of reading which would remain with them for life
