Got mine today, thanks Mr McShane of Plan B Books!

Only had a quick scan through it, love the Freddie the Fearless Fly strip!

I haven't seen my order from DCT yet but not too "bovvered" since I have picked up a couple from various shops.

I loved the Freddie strip as well.

Thanks N.P for putting that `Beatles` link on! I just couldn't get a picture of `Life-Lines` from my NMe on this site! Interesting about the chart talk ("Please Please Me") in that Nigel Parkinson is using (i'm happy to see!) data from my `Chart History` articles that are on many sites now!

Back to final Dandy- I also have the previous two and loved the Cover on antipenultimate as it was a copy of cover of 1967 Dandy book - plus! There was a good `Puss and Boots` strip inside.

I'm still in the dark as to who drew the Freddie strip - and the Black Bob and Talking Ball strips

Black Bob and The Talking Ball were both by Wayne Thompson - no doubt about it!
Freddy the Fearless Fly I believe is by Gary Boller - I'll ask him on Facebook!

DC Thomson sent me ANOTHER copy of the last Dandy this morning, and I know at least one other person who's had one as well.

Reckon it's a final "Cheers" from them, to be used as Xmas presents or something? Has anyone else received another one out of the blue?

Got mine today from my local WH SMITH. At last!

I still haven't received my copy

Unless my mum's taken it into hiding until Christmas! One more week to find out.

I found a copy in McColls in the St James Centre, Edinburgh on Saturday.
Like MadGaz, I could have got a copy from McShane but he's in the dog house right now. Plan B Books is a great wee shop, isn't it?

Does anyone know if there is a way of identifying the first and second prints of the final issue or do they appear identical?

did anyone get the `75 years` special too? that one also had facsimile of first ever Dandy inside!

With the `final` Dandy- I was hoping that `Spunky and his Spider` and `Constable Big-Ears` might have got in, but alas! no!

My copy finally turned up last Saturday...and I visited my local WH Smiths today and they had a whole load of them on the rack (they had silver foil on the cover though, probably a 2nd print I presume).

Silver foil? Not red?
