Several things to cover today on just one blog post! The Phoenix
First up, why should you buy the latest Phoenix comic?
The answer - just look at that Jamie Smart cover - amazing! (Intrestingly, this is also the first Phoenix cover to feature a comic strip, which is just another reason as to why you should grab a copy!)

More Phoenix!
Also Phoenix related, editor David Fickling talks about the title and that children are still intrested in reading comics! You can read the article at The Telegraph's website here:

The Last Dandy!
The last copy of The Dandy is proving incredibly hard to find, with stores selling out within minutes after opening (if only sales had always been like this)! Fortunately you won't have to resort to eBay where copies are, on average, £10 each, as a Scottish newsagent has set up a website where you can buy one for just £3.99 a copy plus postage!

Laika
Does the name Laika sound familiar to you? It should, as it belonged to the first ever dog, and living animal, in space!
I recently bought the graphic novel Laika from Amazon, which was written and drawn by Nick Abadzis at the end of 2007. It's a great read and gets very emotional, the book is a genuine masterpiece.
