During the winter of 2021, the word and image boffins at Beano HQ’s laboratories set up an experiment to mix books with comics. The result was The Battle for Bash Street, the first-ever Boomic!

What’s a boomic? Well, it’s a cross between a book and a comic, from the minds of Beano’s I.P. Daley (with a little bit of help from Beano’s very own Craig Graham and Mike Stirling). They’re the ultimate Beano adventure in book form, peppered with funny pictures illustrated by awesome comic creator, Nigel Parkinson.

Their book-comic hybrid experiment was such a success that it was followed-up even more Boomics, including The Abominable Snowmenace and Attack of the Evil Veg.

Now, are you ready for a fourth helping of fun? Dennis and Gnasher are back for a particularly messy adventure in Super Slime Spectacular, which will hit the shops on July 7!

Pretty much everyone we know loves slime. They can’t get enough of it. Well, apart from parents, because they tend to find bits of it everywhere when they tidy up. But slime means fun for the rest of us, right? Absolutely.

In this latest adventure, Dennis, Gnasher and their classmates decide to conduct a risky experiment to create the ultimate slime. What could possibly go wrong? Join them in a race against slime to save Beanotown!

Dennis & Gnasher: Super Slime Spectacular will be released on July 7 through Farshore Publishing.
