In this event, filmed live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, Morris Heggie and Mike Stirling of DC Thomson take a trip through the Beano’s long and illustrious history, offering an insightful look at some of the nation’s favourite cartoon personalities and reminiscing about those who are no more.
