The DFC

It's being promoted by the Story Museum in Oxford (which isn't an actual museum yet)

If you subscribe you can try 4 issues free first. (It's over £2 a copy though, is that a lot?)

interesting. but would be 3 quid a copy for us.

Enid · 31/05/2008 18:46

well not pink

but maybe a girl friendly storyline in ONE of the stories?

WendyWeber · 31/05/2008 18:45

How should it look to be aimed at girls?

and it looks squarely aimed at boys at first glance

WendyWeber · 31/05/2008 18:42

What does it mean? I don't get it.

Enid · 31/05/2008 18:41

oooh fabby

was just thinking how dd1 would love a decent comic

WendyWeber · 31/05/2008 10:37

MI, you could sign up and get the freebies and see how she gets on with it (but I'm sure any daughter of yours is totally brilliant )

There is also a 3-month option for £30, cornsilk - still quite a chunk at once though.

If it's all serials, I wonder what happens when someone subscribes in the middle? Would they get a synopsis? "in previous episodes of..."?

Looks interesting. Cr*p comics from the newsagents are around the £2 mark.

motherinferior · 31/05/2008 10:26

Maybe it could be her eighth birthday present

cornsilk · 31/05/2008 10:25

That looks good but you have to pay £49 for a subsciption.

motherinferior · 31/05/2008 10:24

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Wonder if DD1 might like it. She's seven, but obviously as she's my PFB I think she's madly advanced.
