Excellent product, grandson (9) loves it as does his older brother (12). Bought as a birthday present for 6 months as children lose interest quickly, but will definitely be extending the subscription. Arrives promptly each week and he looks forward to its arrival.

SUCH JOY
Great communication from yourselves.
Fantastic product which is delivered on time
We bought it for our 10yr old grandson who has significant additional needs. He loves it and waits for the postman every week. It is a joy to see how much pleasure the comic brings to him. I have a feeling this will be an annual purchase for a number of years
Thank you

Everything is as promised they deliver on time week in and week out, even when my family moved at short notice from one place to another. My grandson (who the comic is for) waits every week for the postman to deliver and is delighted with the comic, then when it arrives immerses himself straight into it.
