I'm now 65. As a kid I was always into comics, especially Sci fi and WW2. My Dad was a WW2 veteran,and when Victor was released it resonated with me. As a result I started to buy and read the Commando... See more

In 2024 I went ‘home’ from Australia to visit family in Scotland. My son and I visited Dundee, and called in at your office- a good excuse to renew my subscription! We were made so very welcome and taken around to have a good look at the whole place. This was such a friendly gesture- absolutely an unexpected kindness and so very much appreciated.
As a wee girl - long ago as I am now 86- in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, I used to enjoy The Broons and your Comics.
Your publications are so much entwined with Scottish Culture.
Lang may your lum reek!

The magazine I receive is good value and the content is good.
However, there have been several occasions when I have not received the magazine. Hence my score.

The magazine is for my mother and she looks forward to it arriving every week. We both enjoy the stories, Riverside in particular, but also the information pages, (Think Green be Green, Health and Well being, Brainteasers).
The only thing we are disappointed with is the editing of the stories, there are often spelling mistakes, incorrect names of characters or wrong sex given, i.e. he instead of she. Simple mistakes that should have been picked up when proof reading!

i have always liked command comics and continue to maintain the direct debit.
the only problem i have is consistency of receiving them in the post on a regular basis. i put this down to the fact that i live in Asia and there could be any number of reasons for aforesaid ad hoc delivery; they always arrive in the end and i do NOT blame DC for this

It has lots of interest on many subjects The familiar articles are interesting including visiting places around the UK. With the stories it is a magazine that lasts a week and even longer and is good value.

Good delivery service and information about changes are timely and clear.
I have had to cancel the subscription to my mum because she is having difficulty reading them all - this was very easy to do.

Range of articles and stories from different time periods
Would be good if a children’s section was reintroduced. Reading children’s section was how I started to read the “People’s Friend “.
Cover of magazine could be improved. Comes off easily and is prone to tearing particularly when older weaker hands are reading the magazine. At 96 year’s old my mother who suffers from dementia amazes the staff in her care home by still being able to read the stories in the “People’s Friend “.
