Recommended Posts

My daughter, who has always loved reading books with illustrations / something visual, has been reading some old DFC comics from school. She is loving them, unfortunately they are no longer published.


Does anyone have recommendations for comics that your children read. I am looking for a comic like the DFC one, no adverts, no junk/plastic on the front (which my daughter loves!)and perhaps something that I can get a subscription to that comes weekly or twice a month?


Any recommendations appreciated .

I've had Phoenix recommended by friends and my son seems to like it. Plus Beano, and unfortunately, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Dr Who one is monthly and good.


Also if you want to try lots out, there's a day a year where various comic give away samplers for free. You've missed it now, but you can pick them up for ?1 online, eg:

Not sure what might be suitable.

Also a couple of comic books that have had good reviews:

I have a box of phoenix comics in v. good condition (from issue 1 onwards; 40 - 50?) - a friend picked them up for my daughter at a car boot I think but I haven't been able to interest her in reading them. If anyone wants them they are very welcome to them - just pm me.

    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
    • You know that the top 1% of earners pay 30% of all total tax in the UK right? If they leave who picks up the tax slack? This is an inconvenient truth ignored by many. This is why Labour did a u-turn on non-doms because they started leaving and left the Treasury with a growing tax hole to fill.
