Can anyone tell me, does the first issue of The DFC come with a free gift?

Over the past few issues we now get a double helping of Dennis. Is this too much?. This week we had 7 pages. I know he is the most popular character in the comic but is it a good idea. Why not just give him an extra page & give the other pages over to either new characters or old ones. The same goes...

Interesting is the readership figures given by *Source: Youth TGI 2008 (Spring)

Would be good for someone like DC Thomson to hit this market and launch a new boys mags based around football its a real bouyant market at the moment. When you compare the value for money against the flimsy no content rubbish of the Dandy Extreme, there is no contest.

The bouyant Football magazine market which sees Match weekly still selling 113,000 copies a week will have the new Match of the Day Mag http://www.motdmag.com to battle from Tuesday next week.

Megax the warrior appeared in Spike comic in the 80's he was more of a Conan the Barbarian type character.

I have just discovered the Commando Large paperback Annual from last year in WH Smiths its a real treat. I can't find any mention on this site of these books. There was also one in 2005 & a new one out in Sept this Year. They aren't even advertised by DC Thomson. All fans on these books should pick ...

Good to see DC Thomson trying something new, But why call it BeanoMax, they say they are trying to tap into the 8- 13 boys market but I can see a 13 year old being put off with the Beano title & does a 13 year old want a 4 page Bash St kid strip?. Sure the Beano is the big brand name for DC Thomson ...

The secrects of William Wilson in Spike, this sounds familier & he also found the secret to staying young from the monks....

could be?

All sorry yes it is just a dream, I saw a thread a few weeks back asking how a boys mag could come back & this is just my idea.
