Dandy Christmas Special

Disappointing, to be honest.

The excellent Ken cover, fantastic NP Dan and new Ollie are let down by the reprint JAK, suspect reprint Bananaman with misset lettering on page 1, and the reprint Cuddles and Dimples.

NP, they need to get you to do more new stuff, after all you got let off new artwork for the Beano Christmas special

NP dan was a reprint as well, from a few years ago. Giggle sack redeemed it!

That seems too soon to start reprints - most readers will have already read them.
What's with all the reprints with the specials, why not use new artwork?

Hate to sound dim, but what's 'NP'? I'm assuming the artist- if so who does NP stand for?

And any links to an image of this style of Dan drawing? Does he/she draw anything else? I'm always curious to see how different artists draw Dan. My fave being Ken H Harrison (old style more than new- but that is growing on me).

He's also drawn at least one Bash Street Kids story (as well as Bash Street Kids Singled Out), The Banana Bunch and probably more I've not put.

He's drawn loads of Bash Street stories (especially in 1999)
