David Beckham and Sir Alex Ferguson are among the cast of celebrities making an appearance in the 75th anniversary issue of the Beano.
Publisher DC Thomson has released a sneak peek at the footballer’s comic strip encounter with his former boss before the issue goes on sale on Wednesday.
In Dennis the Menace and Gnasher and David Beckham!, Beckham decides to move to Beanotown.
An undercover Dennis the Menace helps him find a home the only problem being it is beside Sir Alex Ferguson’s new house.
Beckham played for a decade under Sir Alex during his time at Manchester United.
Beano editor-in-chief Mike Stirling said: “David Beckham features quite a lot in the anniversary issue, and I think that the strip with David Beckham and Sir Alex Ferguson is brilliant.
“Dennis is up to his usual menacing and the results are hilarious.
“It pokes fun at their history in a light-hearted way and, of course, it’s all meant in jest.
“We listen to what our readers say and feature people that they want to read about.
“I think that the anniversary issue is possibly the most celeb-packed issue we have ever produced.
“Seventy-five years of the Beano is a landmark worth celebrating, and we hope that it appeals to readers of all ages.”
