Beryl the Peril 1967

Product Information

Notably, she was the only Beezer and Topper character to transfer to The Dandy as soon as the former comic folded.

This causes a chain effect in which other famous characters from The Dandy – including Korky the Cat, Desperate Dan and Bananaman – also unfriend her father, much to his dismay.And that was what was so extraordinary, there was a kind of a crest of a wave and we were on it and we didn’t ask to be put there, but we were just there and we represented our women’s thoughts and stories and feelings by using what was personal to us.

She reverted to her black and red clothes and her hairstyle became much more like that of Dennis the Menace - but her pigtails remained. To mark celebration with her joining the comic, Beryl shared the spotlight with Desperate Dan on the front cover of the 1998 Dandy Annual. Then Didi Hopkins organised The Perils first European tour to perform Got Nuilty with original Peril, Claudia Boulton and two new Perils, Denise Stoklos and Reb Nassauer.

She regained many of her Dennis influenced traits as well such as the famous "behind the nose" grin and constant scowl. This causes a chain effect in which other famous characters from The Dandy - including Korky the Cat, Desperate Dan and Bananaman - also unfriend her father, much to his dismay. Davey Law, her artist and creator, drew inspiration from his daughter, who would often pull faces during her tantrums.
