The actual stuff is good but it would be better if it was more frequent in the post. It isn't as much stuff as I would like it to be.

My daughter loved it

Seeing the excitement in my daughter for each new issue was enough to enjoy this, but I had the comic delivered when I was her age which made it special for me.

Good fun

Good fun, good communications.
Don’t ship to the Channel Islands but the comic and only the comic is available there. I have to have stuff sent to me and I pay to ship it on. Please change that then it would be perfect.
