Comics UK

Me too, Peter . Last issue we received on the Friday before the 'on the shelf' Wednesday; this week, it's the day after the shop date and not a sausage... I'll drop them a line if nothing through tomorrow, I guess. Could get 2 issues tomorrow !!!

Trawling through ebay today I came across this description of a comic that I just had to share with you all. The English used throughout at first made me extremely concerned for society as a whole, but when I encountered the word "barging" for bargain I couldn't help but smile ... I have left the co...

In response to Lew's earlier request about whether the kids actually feel ripped off about the 'Mystery Gifts'..... My youngest's (11) response was "great, I'd used my other jokeberry", he ate his Haribos in a flash and fired his 'duplicate' bananagun at me for about 10 minutes! I don't think he fel...

My youngest (who is coming up for 12) gets the Dandy Annual from Father Christmas every year and does seem confused as to why most of his new favourites havent appeared in the Annual of late. Surely the 'classics' annual could celebrate 75 years of The Dandy this year and let the Dandy Annual run al...

I still cannot understand the massive and continuing difference between The Beano and Dandy figures...the Dandy is at least on a par with it's sister publication, quality-wise. I agree wholeheartedly with MikeD's comments above, and that's not just coming from a 42-year old UK comics fanatic. My bo...

I bought mine from 'Asda' by the way...

Also happened to me past two weeks. Concerned how that will affect the recording of sales figures? Hopefully not at all. On a related note, WHSmith in Liverpool Street Station has stopped stocking The Dandy - they sold it for about the last 6 months (first time since the October 2010 relaunch) and t...

What is happening to our beloved Comics UK? This used to be a great place to hang out and opine on the latest moves in the UK Comics scene - with the occasional reminiscence of the comics of old. The juvenile and, in some cases spiteful, nature of some of the newer members of the board (you know who...

I do the same thing as Wizzkid every time I go into WHSmiths in Liverpool Street or my local Asda! I also sneakily swap their shelf position from 'upside down at the back' to 'displayed correctly at the front' .... (Apologies to 'Hello Kitty' or 'Fun To Learn Favourites' magazine fans but you get bu...

So. not long to go until the end of the Strictly Come Laughing online poll and I can't help feeling it has turned into a "which artist has got the most friends online" poll, rather than a "what story do the kids like best" poll. The 76 votes for Tag Team Tastic (out of 540) in the last 15 hours seem...

Dandy chaps and chappesses,

Two weeks in to Strictly Come Laughing and the gremlins are still there!

My son wants to cast his vote - do you know when the online poll will be fixed?

Btw, I forgot to mention - I really didn't mind the larger cover and the kids both seemed (strangely?) quite excited about it!

Hi Craig, One thing that will really help kids notice The Dandy on the shelves is if the comic is actually on shelves that kids can reach.In my local Asda, every time I go in there, I take The Dandy's from the TOP SHELF and place them prominently at the front of the comics section. It does seem to m...

Hi Craig, I haven't posted on here for a while as I have been really busy at work but your request made me realise I had never really shared my (and my family's views) since the relaunch. This was a bit amiss of me really as we ALL love it!! What I think you might find interesting is that my 12 1/2-...

Hmmmm. No sign of issue 5 yet, 4 days after due date. Bought them all so far - some of it not really my cup of tea but trying to stick with it. Some strips feel like they are trying to be shocking or 'adult' just for the sake of it. ie. the strip would work just as well without the swearing/adult th...
