Dandy
The Dandy is a British children's comic book published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd which was first issued on 3 December 1937, and is currently the longest running comic in the world, which it became as of issue 3007 in 1999. This beat the previous record holder, Comic Cuts, which ran for 3006 issues between 1890 - 1953.There have been several long-running strips over the years. The two longest running strips in The Dandy are Desperate Dan who has been in all issues since the first one in 1937, bar a brief period in 1997 where he 'left' The Dandy, only to return for the comic's 60th anniversary issue in that year, and Korky the Cat, who also featured in the first issue and still makes appearances in The Dandy today.
Originally, Korky the Cat occupied the front cover, but Desperate Dan took over in 1984.
