Farshore readies Betty and the Yeti graphic novels

Farshore is expanding its publishing partnership with Beano Studios, creating a range of graphic novels based on its Betty and the Yeti comic strip.

The first book in the series – Betty and The Yeti: Friends At First Fart – will publish in March 2025, and books two and three will publish in August 2025 and Spring 2026.

“Betty and The Yeti is one of the most popular and loved comic strips in the Beano, and Farshore are excited to work with Beano and Hugh Raine to publish these fantastically funny comics in graphic novel form for the very first time,” said Zoe Masters, Publisher for Brands and Licensing at Farshore.

“We have fallen in love with Betty and The Yeti, and cannot wait for both existing Beano comic fans as well as brand new readers to fully immerse themselves in their surprising, playful, and hilarious world.”

Betty and The Yeti creator Hugh Raine added: “I absolutely love writing and drawing the resourceful Betty and the loveable but unpredictably wild Yeti! I hope children and adults alike get as much enjoyment out of seeing them smash, bash and crash their way through life as much as I enjoy making the comics!”

Rob Glenny, Head of Commercial and New Business at Beano Studios, continued: “Comic storytelling is Beano’s forte, and we’re excited to bring it to the world of graphic novels with Farshore.

“The new series highlights the growing appeal of Betty and the Yeti’s mischievous adventures and Hugh Raine’s brilliant storytelling. It’s a great opportunity to engage both new and loyal readers, while continuing Beano’s tradition of delivering fun, imaginative stories. We can’t wait to introduce Betty and the Yeti to an even wider audience.”

Farshore have been the official publishers of Beano since 2021.
