How do you cite written works? I've just read my son's Beano Annual 2008 and the crossover story is right there... Captain Pedant (talk) 17:31, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right, I've removed the citation tag. Digifiend (talk) 14:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amusingly, Billy seems in this story to have developed speech mannerisms more commonly associated with a slightly older and genuinely super-powered hero from the other side of the Atlantic, also a famous wall-crawler. Hmm, that refrence to Spider-Man is WP:OR, I'll remove that I think... Digifiend (talk) 14:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2009 annual[edit]

it's out 3rd September. We need to know who the Billy the Cat artist is, if he even appears! It's not Nigel Dobbyn like it usually is, I know that much. Digifiend (talk) 14:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Buddy[edit]

Didn't Billy the Cat also appear in the Buddy comic in the eighties? - Joe King (talk) 15:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Guess I should add that. Digifiend (talk) 16:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Billy the Cat's Origin - background of parents[edit]

Beano no 1290 dated April 8th 1967 says "... William's parents had both been in the police force and had been killed when a gang of criminals had forced their car over a cliff. Ever since then William had carried on his parents' fight against crime as Billy the Cat."
