From black-and-red beginnings to the full-colour capers of today, Beano Time Travellers! explores the heritage of the longest running children’s comic in Britain. On show are colourful covers and special editions, showing the timeline of Beano from its first beginnings up to the present day; from Second World War stories to commentary on modern celebrity culture.
The show reveals fascinating insights into the comic-making process, from initial artist’s sketches to final prints. It’s an exhibition for all ages, with detailed information for anyone who wants to delve into the history of the comic, as well as dressing-up costumes and fun photo opportunities.
