The
first UK Andy Capp book was issued in 1958. Thereafter, two per year were
issued to 1979 inclusive, then one per year for 1980, 1981 and 1982. Then
a strange thing happened - in 1982, when the landscape issue of No 46
was issued, so too was the magazine No 46 issued, with the same picture
and the same comic strips ! (see pictures below). There had only been
one magazine prior to this, which was issued in 1981, un-numbered, and
titled "This is your Life, Andy Capp". These magazines then
continued to No 51 in 1984 where the numbering finally ended. Also, in
1980 (for 1981), "bumper" annuals started titled "The World
of Andy Capp" which continued one per year until the last issue in
1994 for 1995.
In addition, Mirror Books released a smaller set of books in a series titled "Laugh Again with Andy Capp" subtitled ' A Daily Mirror Re-Capp' starting in 1968 for 23 issues, the last being published in 1980. The final book, No 23, had a different title of 'Presenting Andy Capp' and only subtitled as 'Laugh Again with Andy Capp No 23' Ravette
Books published some colour books, two in 1992 and two in 1993 - I do
not know if there were any subsequent ones.
Below is a Gallery of Andy Capp Books in year order. UPDATE - A new series of Andy Capp books started in 2004 by David and Charles Books. Many thanks to D&C for the complimentary copy of No 3 sent to me with the press release about publication (Andy Capp at 50 released 28 September 2006). |
