The Beezer (called The Beezer and Topper for the last 3 years of publication) was a British comic that ran from (issues dates) 21 January 1956 to 21 August 1993, when it unofficially "merged" with The Beano. Like its sister comic, The Topper, the Beezer was an A3 (tabloid) publication, meaning it was twice as big as other comics. It shrank down to A4 paper size like the others in 1981.
