  • Beano Comic #1 – July 30 1938 – Reprint Identification Guide
    phil-comics auctions - Beano comic #1 – July 30 1938 – Reprint Identification Guide Found a Beano comic #1 dated 30 th July 1938 stashed away and can’t tell whether it’s genuine? The chances are that it’s a reprint and this guide will help you find out. Can you tell which of these two is the original? The comic on the left is the original. The Beano comic was first published in 1938 with a cover date of 30 th July. To many collectors it is the holy grail of British comics with the comic still going strong today. Original examples often change hands for four figure sums. The Beano comic’s publisher DC Thomson have published the original sales ledger records which showed that an incredible 442,963 copies of the first issue were sold throughout the nation. To date, just 25 or so of these are known to have survived. Several more may exist in private collections not included in this tally and we have no doubt that a few more are out there in attics as yet undiscovered. That said, the original is a genuinely rare item. Given that The Beano is a household name and has been published continuously since 1938, it will come as no surprise that several reprints of that iconic first issue have been produced. In 1978, DC Thomson Firsts reprinted full sized versions of eight of their famous comics, including The Beano, bound into a hardback book. We once saw what we believed to be the first Adventure comic (clearly a reprint and likely from this book) with string binding so it’s possible that a few copies have been yielded from these books, but we doubt too many.

  • 4-Comic-Comprehensions
    Comics and YOURComprehension FREE BEANO RESOURCES TEACHER NOTES Children love to read comics and while finding a way to encourage reading for pleasure is always a big win in and of itself, there are plenty of ways you can use this enthusiasm to fuel learning in the classroom. Even a short comic strip helps children become familiar with narrative structures and once this knowledge is embedded it’s more easily transferred to other, more stretching contexts. The illustrations play an important part too in opening up new vocabulary and children will constantly make inferences as they read, without really knowing it. So why not try these enjoyable activities with your class as a way of getting everyone – including your typically more reluctant readers – to develop their reading skills? There are three full stories from Beano to share with the children and, having enjoyed these, they can tackle the comprehension / inference activity sheets, which have a few writing challenges included for good measure. Pupils can practise composition too with a series of jumbled up comic strips that need reordering, and the chance to write their own story. What’s in the pack? • Numskulls comic strip and comprehension sheet A testing situation for Edd causes the Numskulls to uncover Mr Throbb’s marking secret! • Dennis and Gnasher comic strip and comprehension sheet Dennis’s dad brings back a giant box of half price custard from the supermarket. What could possibly go wrong? • Bananaman comic strip and comprehension sheet Eric gets the call when the whole town is covered in ever-expanding slime.

    Look and Learn A History of the Classic Children's Magazine By Steve Holland Text © Look and Learn Magazine Ltd 2006 First published 2006 in PDF form on www.lookandlearn.com by Look and Learn Magazine Ltd 54 Upper Montagu Street, London W1H 1SL 1 Acknowledgments Compiling the history of Look and Learn would have be an impossible task had it not been for the considerable help and assistance of many people, some directly involved in the magazine itself, some lifetime fans of the magazine and its creators. I am extremely grateful to them all for allowing me to draw on their memories to piece together the complex and entertaining story of the various papers covered in this book. First and foremost I must thank the former staff members of Look and Learn and Fleetway Publications (later IPC Magazines) for making themselves available for long and often rambling interviews, including Bob Bartholomew, Keith Chapman, Doug Church, Philip Gorton, Sue Lamb, Stan Macdonald, Leonard Matthews, Roy MacAdorey, Maggie Meade-King, John Melhuish, Mike Moorcock, Gil Page, Colin Parker, Jack Parker, Frank S. Pepper, Noreen Pleavin, John Sanders and Jim Storrie. My thanks also to Oliver Frey, Wilf Hardy, Wendy Meadway, Roger Payne and Clive Uptton, for detailing their artistic exploits on the magazine. Jenny Marlowe, Ronan Morgan, June Vincent and Beryl Vuolo also deserve thanks for their help filling in details that would otherwise have escaped me. David Abbott and Paul Philips, both of IPC Media, Susan Gardner of the Guild of Aviation Artists and Morva White of The Bible Society were all helpful in locating information and contacts.
