What parents say about the Beano Comic Subscription
“My daughter Rita has had a Beano subscription for over a year and can’t wait for her comic to arrive. She reads it from cover to cover and is proud of her collection.
She adores the fantastic artwork and engaging writing, and has transformed her into an avid reader and something of a keen prankster.”
