But, as of the "re-revamp" in August 2007, the strips became classic reprints on the back cover of Dandy Comix in "The Dandy Xtreme". While the first few issues ran them in the original monochrome, they have since been run in coloured form, all reprints were adopted from the 1997 "Legend of Desperate Dan" book which was released to celebrate his 60th anniversary. For the "MegaComix Special" in February 2008, there were two Desperate Dan strips. One was the usual Dudley Watkins reprint, the other was a brand new one by Jamie Smart, who later became Dan's artist and writer for 12 issues in April 2008. The MegaComix Special also featured a guide to drawing, by Jamie Smart, which showed how he drew the Desperate Dan strip (which was over the page). This didn't actually feature, nor did the comic strip, inside the Comix pullout.
