Bang! Wallop! Ooft! Meet the Editors of the Beano!
Calling all mischief-makers! Expect fun and mayhem in this interactive session from the brains behind Beano, the world’s longest running (and greatest!) comic. Get ready for lolz as Craig Graham and Mike Stirling share the secrets behind characters such as Dennis the Menace and the Bash Street Kids and tell you how they invented Boomics - the ultimate mix of books and comics. Then create your own brilliantly funny story together with other children and schools, as you experience the creative process LIVE!
