The final editions are being snapped up for £50 on eBay. But Des Barr is delighted to be offering them for their £3.99 cover price at his pop-up shop in the Braehead centre near Glasgow.

Des said: “I’m the only shop in the country that has copies of the last ever Dandy for sale.

“The response has been amazing. We’ve had orders from all over the world, including Canada, America, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.”
