The Beano Annual is the current name of the book that has been published every year since 1939,to tie in with the children's British comic 'The Beano'.As of 2021 there have been 83 editions.These annuals were traditionally published in July or August,in time for Christmas market,and since 1965 (dated 1966) they have had the date of the following year on the cover,before then,no date was given. From 1943 to 1950 the annual was called 'The Magic-Beano Book,which referred to the merging of the short-lived sister comic 'Magic Comic' that then ceased publication in 1941 due to WW2 and Britain's introduction of strict paper-rationing.Though with war's end and the later end of paper-rationing too,the comic was never revived.However,some of the characters who had originally appeared in the pre-war 'Magic Comic' managed to remain as regular strips in the post-1950 'Beano' comic (such as Koko the Pup).The name reverted to the original title of 'The Beano Book' in 1950 and continued,the year changing for each subsequent annual, until the release of the 2003 book (in 2002) when it was renamed 'The Beano Annual'.The 2011 Beano Annual is taller and wider than previous annuals. Because of his popularity,Dennis the Menace has appeared on the front cover of every annual since the release of the 1979 annual in 1978. The latest version came out 2020 and was dated 2021.From 2009 (out in 2008)until 2020 (released 2019),the book consistently retailed at £7.99.
