Brilliant stuff, Lee! Mischief = mission accomplished.
Best jokes in the playground
My child is thrilled, every week to have the BEANO delivered onto the doormat each week. Their reading levels have soared at school and they know the best jokes in the playground!

My son (age 9) has had the Beano each week for the last 2 years on subscription and sits and reads it cover to cover when it is delivered, cackling to himself. I would highly recommend as a fun break from TV and other technology.

My boys really enjoy it each week, and wait for it to come each week. We have been getting this delivered for about 3 years now. “It’s really good”, “it’s the best” are their reviews.

Superb comic for us all down the ages
Subscription for our 7 year granddaughter, she looks forward to her 'magazine' every week. She absolutely loves it. Both my children had it, age now 44 & 49. Both my husband and myself read it as children

Really disappointing service
Really disappointing service. No consistent delivery time and it can often come a week late and often with damage or tears. Considering cancelling.

Subscriber for 5+ years
Subscriber for 5+ years - all copies have been read and re-read. Helped us to tackle the difficult ‘I don’t want to read’ phase.
Eldest has just said that he is ‘too old’ at 13 but youngest still reading at 11.

Spot on for kids (and parents)
A great comic. Packed full of silly fun, games, activities and humour. I used to read it as a kid and I am now reading it with my 8 year old and he loves it. It's been great for encouraging him to read on his own and he rereads old issues before bed every night. He won't let me recycle any of them!

Brilliant gift for grandson
Grandson loves receiving his Beano through the mail and it always arrives on time. He shares read copies with his younger brother but refuses to recycle the comics further. He prefers to have a comic pile in his bedroom that he can dip into anytime he likes.
