The Beano's special issue features 75 celebrities reimagined as 10-year-olds, celebrating creativity and humor in mischief, with over 60% of children valuing humor highly.
On March 17, Beano released a 75th anniversary special reimagining 75 mini mischief makers as 10-year-olds, available in selected supermarkets, newsagents and online.
Children across the UK voted to select the 75 mischief makers featured in the Beano's anniversary issue, with Mike Stirling, Director of Mischief at Beano, saying 'Dennis is forever 10, and for 75 years he's reminded us that being a kid is the best thing ever.'
The special issue showcases a star-studded cast including MrBeast, Rowan Atkinson, King Charles and Harry Styles, all appearing together on an eight-page fold-out, Beano's longest fold-out cover.
The edition supports the National Year of Reading by championing reading for fun among children, with a commemorative 50p coin issued February alongside the celebrations.
Research commissioned by Beano found children and adults believe mischief makers share humour, creativity, and imagination, with humour scoring nearly 60.
