The Beano Summer Special
The Beano Summer Special is like "The Beano" with extra comic strips, which as its name suggests, was released in the summer and are considered more valuable than the standard editions. This special first started in 1963 with a joint "Beano"-"Dandy" summer special and then in 1964 the first "Beano" summer special appeared. These ran continually until 2003 when they were replaced by "Beano" specials, which was a series of monthly special Beanos including a Summer Special released in the Summer. In 2006, the "Beano" specials was discontinued in favour of "BeanoMAX". However, in 2011 an  ultimate summer special exclusive to WHSmith was released and so was "The Beano" 3-D Summer Annual 2011. Unlike the traditional "Beano" of the time, this edition of the comic had a more colourful appearance to it. The front cover of these comics often had one picture which had a caption encouraging the reader to turn to the rear cover to see what happens next. As well as "Beano" Summer Specials there were also Bash Street Kids Summer Specials.
