Volume Description

The Dandy is one of the longest running comics in the world. Issue 3007 broke the world record for number of issues of a weekly comic, previously held by Comic Cuts. Because The Dandy was fortnightly from 2007 to 2010, however, it's stablemate The Beano has now beaten that record. The Dandy is also the oldest surviving British comic, but the final printed issue was published on 4 December 2012. It continued as a digital comic.
