Day The Teachers Disappeared

Craig Graham and Mike Stirling were both born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in the same vintage year when Dennis first became the cover star of Beano. Ever since, they’ve been training to become the Brains Behind Beano Books (which is mostly making cool stuff for kids from words and funny pictures). They’ve both been Beano Editors, but now Craig is Director of Mayhem and Mike is Director of Mischief (ooh, fun!) at Beano Studios.Beano was first published in July 1938 and is still created every week in its original Dundee headquarters and printed in the UK. Beano Studios is a rebellious multi-media publishing, entertainment and creative business powered by data and insight. The Studio produces diverse content across TV and digital, as well as theatrical, live experiences, licensed products, and the legendary Beano comic and annual.
