The Beano Summer Special is like the Beano with extra comic strips which as its name suggest was released during the summer months and cost more than the regular comics. 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.
