The DFC – Single Issues Now Available

By John Freeman on July 8, 2008

Much has been said over the last few months on the subject of the new British children’s comic, The DFC, and a lot of it has to do with its distribution method. The only way to get hold of it was to subscribe.

If you were one of those who were not convinced by the pre-publicity about the weekly 36 page, no adverts, comic to shell out £30 for a three month subscription or £50 for six months, you can now buy individual issues to see what you have been missing.

The single issues are priced at £3 each including postage to the UK or £4 to the rest of the world and are available from The DFC’s website.
