The comic has 64 pages, which are prefaced with a contents page (Classic Contents) and until 2007 were followed by an advert for the next month's issue, with the back cover showing original strips starring Roger The Dodger , Little Plum , Plug (comic) , Beryl The Peril amongst others, drawn by Gordon Bell or Keith Reynolds. In 2007, the cover was redesigned to show "Classics from the Comics" with a roundel containing Korky The Cat 's head and the words Classics Collection (presumably this is also the new name for the 60 Years annuals, now that The Dandy is 70), and a large illustration by Ken Harrison . The new editor started penning a letter to the readers on the contents page, and the advert and original strip on the inside and back covers were replaced by further reprinted strips. A small notice is published on all the pages, identifying which comic the strip comes from (Classic Beano, '''Classic Dandy''', etc). Near the end of each issue, a "Readers Requests" postal address is displayed, so readers can write to DC Thomson and request other archive strips to go in a future issue. Occasional bumper-size anthologies are also produced of around 300 pages. Free gifts in the form of The Fun Size Beano s or The Fun Size Dandy s are featured in some issues. Other issues use free gifts originally given away with The Dandy . In July 2004 it celebrated its 100th issue, revamping the front cover at the same time, changing the logo from a plain Serif font to a sans-serif one with a 3-D effect. |
