A well overdue update to my guide to collecting Asterix calendars - hope you managed to get one of these to hang on your wall, I didn't!

now updated with calendars for 2027 - highlighted thus

Asterix calendar 2023

A chance find at a bookshop in December 2019 has meant that, happily, an Asterix calendar has been hanging on my wall this year. 

2022 appears looks set to be a bumper year for Asterix calendars with these two calendars currently available on Amazon...

Working out a gift list for last Christmas inspired me to see if a calendar has been produced for...and, good news, it has been...and it's been on my wall all year

 

the calendar previously on my wall...

...I then started wondering if there had been calendars for other years...so far I've found just this one

A quick bit of googling brings up plenty of 'kalendars' for the German market but few others - or maybe they've just dropped the word 'kalendar' from the title (so that it can be sold more widely).

Anyway if you know of any other Asterix calendars do let me know - thanks.

UPDATED: Tintin calendars

Inspired by my post recently about Asterix calendars I suddenly wondered if there were a whole lot of Tintin calendars out there as well.

A quick search on ebay has turned up the following images - I'm sure there'll be more out there to discover so keep your eyes peeled for another post on this topic soon.

UPDATED: Beano and Dandy calendars

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...

Don't forget you can review Commando calendars here and Judge Dredd calendars here

UPDATE (11/06/26) now with added calendar (highlighted in red) as follows...

Beano for 2026; 

Beano and Dandy for 1995, 2012 & 2013;

Dennis & Gnasher for 2012

New material (2025 calendar) is highlighted in red but the summary of where I'm up to now is that I have images for calendars for 1986-2025 apart from 2013 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.

Beano calendar 1986

Beano calendar 1987

Beano calendar 1988

Beano calendar 1989

Beano calendar 1990

Beano calendar 1991

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"...

There was also a Beano and Dandy calendar for 1994

There was also a Beano and Dandy calendar for 1995

...think the 1995 one says 'number 10' in the top right corner

Finally found an image of the 1996 calendar (number 11 in the top right corner)...

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)

Finally the 2001 calendars have been identified - yay!

Here's the 2002 calendar

Another 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) Dandy Beano 2013 and then Beano 2017, 2011 and 2010.

So that's 2010-2017 in total

Here are some better images for that 2010 calendar

Dennis and Gnasher calendar 2012

...a slightly better look at the 2012 calendar

The Dandy, The Beano classic calendar 2012

The Dandy, The Beano classic calendar 2013

The 'skinny' 2013 calendar available from Marks & Spencer...

The 2017 calendar...

...And then the Beano 2018 calendar...

...and here we are for 2019...

...and here's the Beano calendar offering for 2020...

and now here is the Beano calendar for 2021...

and now the Beano calendar for 2022...

and now the Beano calendar for 2023...

and now the Beano calendar for 2024...

and now the Beano calendar for 2025...

and now the Beano calendar for 2026...

In 2001 Beanobooks put out (at least) 3 calendars related to other characters...

Beano books also produced a Dandy calendar for 2002...

The Minnie the Minx and Dennis the Menace calendars at the bottom of the next image are new to me...
