Better than ever

The Beano is different from the comic I read as a kid, but in all the best ways. My daughter loves to read it and looks forward to it each week. I love hearing her squeal with laughter at the jokes and frequently find myself the subject of light hearted pranks, or the recipient of a groan worthy joke, which warms my heart.

A weekly highlight

My two children aged 6 and 8 love reading Beano. The oldest in particular is always so happy to receive his weekly subscription.
The stories are amusing, good for dipping in and out of throughout the week. I often read it with them - this helps my younger son fully understand the comic strips.
Highly recommend!

It makes reading fun

My granddaughter loves her delivery of the Beano (just as my grandson did). I’ve asked her if she still wants to get it and she was very insistent that I keep on subscribing for her. We also love all the little extras that come via email.

Save the good for later…

I really like and enjoy the Beano and I hope I get more. The only thing I don’t like is they say it will arrive on Wednesdays and it doesn’t. Murray aged 8

A great buy

I subscribe to the Beano every year, my grandson thinks it's a really cool Christmas present. Arrives on time, and always his first choice of bedtime reading.

Disappointed with service

I Signed up for a black Friday subscription (30th November)for my grandson for Christmas. I fully understood that the first issue would be in January but did I misread that a free annual would arrive to give on Christmas day? No annual has been received. I am somewhat disappointed that I only have a piece of paper to give.
