I had no idea there was a "George and the Dragon" strip in "The Dandy". Although, my comic collection of the Dandy only goes as far as 1992. While my Beanos only go as far as 1987!
Someone pointed this out to me on the Comics UK forum not so long ago, I literally had no idea there were other versions before mine, I just thought retelling the George and the Dragon story in a silly way would make for a good strip!
Had no idea John Geering also did one, fascinating!
Oh! And if you want, you can use one of my strips from my site, rather than a scan: http://www.andyfanton.com/george-vs-dragon-comics/ - The Dandy let me put some online!
Keep up the good work, Peter!
I just can't help hearing the Yosemite Sam-esque George cursing the dragon in my mind.
"You Racka-Fracking lizard!"
Great find, there Peter. :lol:
I think there was also a George and the Dragon in Buster comic!
