Beano guest editor Mike Tindall marks Bananaman anniversary

Former rugby player Mike Tindall has guest-edited the latest edition of the Beano comic to mark the 45th anniversary of the character Bananaman.

The hapless superhero first appeared in Nutty comic in 1980 and has featured in the Beano since 2012.

In the special edition of the comic, Tindall is depicted wearing a matching blue and yellow suit while teaming up with Bananaman to save Beanotown from a rampaging troll.

The 46-year-old ex-England international is married to Zara Tindall, daughter of the Princess Royal.

Tindall said: “Bananaman’s 45th birthday is a reminder that fun, laughter, and a bit of mischief never go out of style, and sharing laughter with kids is timeless.”

He reflects on his childhood and his rugby career in an editor’s letter in the comic.

The father-of-three also writes: “My job now is being a dad and I love it.

“It’s important to set a good example, so I play pranks on the kids and their mum.”

His letter also encourages children to take on a sport if they have the chance.

Bananaman was originally conceived as a playful parody of traditional superheroes, being strong and able to fly but famous for epic failure.
