With Father’s Day just a month away – on 21st June 2009 – many people may be racking their brains to think of the perfect present. Well, publishers Egmont may have the solution – the chance for your Dad to feature alongside the legendary comics football hero Roy of the Rovers in his own comic strip, and be the star.
Simply visit this dedicated page on the Egmont UK web site (www.egmont.co.uk/royoffer), pop in his name, pick a look, and your perfect gift should arrive in good time for Father’s Day!
With 17 name checks and 12 illustrated features, your Dad should feel really special as he reads about himself as a super striker saving the day for Melchester Rovers, but as an added incentive, Egmont are currently offering everyone the opportunity to purchase a unique Roy of the Rovers personalised book with a discount of 20% using the code U09-FDP — and extending the 20% discount to all products bought from the Egmont website at the same time.
That means you can continue shopping (using the ‘continue shopping’ button!) and buy more Egmont titles.
Of course, this offer might not appeal to the Father in your life, but you must know at least one football fan with a birthday — or perhaps even Christmas if you’re the kind of person who really plans ahead. The offer is valid until 30th June 2009: spread the word…
