The Dandy Annual is the current name of the book that has been published by D.C. Thomson every year since 1938, to tie in with the children's comic The Dandy. As of 2020 there have been eighty-three editions, with another ( The Dandy Annual 2021) due. The annuals are traditionally published in August, in time for Christmas, and since 1965 they have had the date of the following year on the cover. Before then no date was given. This information is necessary to identify older annuals which were not dated. If an annual is dated 1950, it would have been published in August 1949.
