The Dandy Annual
''The Dandy Annual'' is the name of a book that has been published every year since 1938, to tie in with the children's comic ''The Dandy''. there have been 87 editions. The Dandy Annual still continues to be published, even though the weekly comic ended in 2013. The annuals are traditionally published in July or August, in time for Christmas, and since 1965 they have had the date of the following year on the cover. Before then no date was given. From 1938 to 1951 the annual was called ''The Dandy Monster Comic''. The name changed to ''The Dandy Book'' in 1952 and continued, the year changing for each subsequent annual, until the release of the 2003 book in 2002 when it was renamed ''The Dandy Annual''. Despite the comic's relaunch as '' Dandy Xtreme'' in 2007, the annual was still known as ''The Dandy Annual''. This is likely because the annuals of the time were mostly made up of ''Dandy Comix'', due to the topical nature of the magazine's ''Xtreme'' content. In unison with t ...

Desperate Dan
Desperate Dan is a wild west character in the now-defunct Scottish comic magazine '' The Dandy''. He made his appearance in the first issue which was dated 4 December 1937 and became the magazine's mascot. He is apparently the world's strongest man, able to lift a cow with one hand. The pillow of his (reinforced) bed is filled with building rubble and his beard is so tough he shaves with a blowtorch. The character was created by Dudley D. Watkins, originally as an outlaw or ‘desperado’ (hence his name), but evolved into a more sympathetic type, using his strength to help the underdog. After Watkins’ death in 1969, the cartoons were drawn by many other artists, principally Ken H. Harrison, though the Watkins canon was often recycled. When the Dandy became digital-only in 2012, the Desperate Dan strips were drawn by David Parkins. There is a statue of Dan in Dundee, Scotland, where his publishers, D. C. Thomson & Co. are based.
