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.

      I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry.. most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged. Do give it a go.

      Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.

      A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour.
