Embrace the mischief: comic reading increases as The Beano celebrates its 85th birthday!
Increasing numbers of children are reading comics digitally as Readly , the digital magazine and newspaper app, reports a 31 percent increase in its comic and kids category year on year. This comes as The Beano, a much-loved title on the Readly app, celebrates its 85th birthday.
Research shows that over a third (34%) of parents introduce comics to their children to spark a lust for literacy and one in ten children said comics and fantasy magazines were their favourite read out of all literature choices.
