I collect stamps,
Philip Parker said, 'the Dandy, celebrating its 75th birthday this year, and The Beano, which will do likewise next year, are almost British institutions and it feels appropriate to celebrate these comics and their characters,'
the Dandy was launched in 1937 by Dundee publishing company DC Thompson, by the 1950s it was selling more than 2m copies a week, but the Beano then overtook it and remains the country's best-selling comic, the other comics to feature in the collection are Eagle, The Topper And Tiger, Bunty, Buster, Valiant, Twinkle and the science fiction title 2000AD, if you are interested the stamps go on sale on Tuesday.
