Following on from a previous post (here) about Oor Wullie calendars I realised that there must be other DC Thomson calendars out there so I set off to google Beano calendars - so here's my guide to collecting them...
New material is highlighted in red but the summary of where I'm up to now is that I have images for calendars for 1986-2019 apart from 1996, 2001 and a 'skinny' 2005 calendar (assuming it exists). Of course there could be more out there so if I missed anything just let me know.
Interestingly the 1992 edition has a reference that says "Number 7" in the top right cover - indicating that this is the 7th edition of the calendar...
...hmmm, and the 1993 calendar says "Number 8"...
...hmmm, and the 1994 calendar says "Number 9"...
...thingk the 1995 one says 'number 10' in the top right corner
There was also a combined Beano and Dandy poster calendar for 1995...(exclusive to WH Smith)
no sign of 1996 (yet!)
Here's the 1997 calendar - you'll see from the back cover picture that this is (helpfully) number as number 12 so there must have been a calendar for 1996 (to be number 11)
The 1998 calendar
The 1999 calendar (left) and the envelope it came in (right)
The 2000 calendar (right) and the envelope it came in (left)
Here's the 2002 calendar
2003 calendar
Then 2004...
No 2005 calendar (I think!) so here's the 2006 edition...
Hmmm, so for 2004 and 2006 it seems there were 2 calendars for Beano fans...
Here's a great collection of calendars...
The top row shows (in order) 2015, 2016, 2012 and 2014.
The bottom row shows (in order) 2013, 2017, 2011 and 2010.
So that's 2010-2017 in total
The 2015 calendar...
The 2017 calendar...
...And then the 2018 calendar...
...and here we are for 2019...
calendar for 2020
In 2001 Beanobooks put out (at least) 3 calendars related to other characters...
