This Weeks Phoenix - No. 37

Its always important to support the British comics industry, so why not grab yourself a copy Britains newest childrens weekly - The Phoenix! The second series of Pirates of Pangaea has just finished, and a new story, entitled Zara's Crown has begun, by John and Patrice Aggs. So far we don't know much, and I don't want to ruin anything, but its about a girl named Zara and her friend Chloe who find a bundle of thousands of pounds on a train! What will they do with it? Well, we'll just have to wait and see...

Also inside are old favourites Cogg and Sprokit, who, as usual, are taking adventure to a whole new level, down in standard, up in excitment! Illustrated by the fantastic Jamie Littler.

Possibly the weirdest strip in the comic is Evil Emperor Penguin about, well, an evil emperor penguin and his sidekick - Number 8 (actually an octopus in a suit). In this weeks story by Laura Ellen Anderson Penguin's snowstorm machine goes horribly wrong, and he has to face an army of giant snowmen in jackets!

So why not grab yourself a copy from wherever you can for only £2.99!

A wonderful issue, wouldn't you agree? Also, did you know that Jamie Littler and Laura Anderson are actually engaged? A cute Phoenix relationship! :D

Why haven't you mentioned Simon Swift by the way? That story was new too - wasn't as good as Zara's Crown though...

Well - I can't cover everything Harry! That would ruin the suprises!

I suppose so actually - although it does say Simon Swift on the front and everything... ;)
