Books & Comics / Monster Fun Issue 1 (Easter Special)
« on: 06 April, 2022, 06:51:26 PM »
It does seem that I just delurk to come on here and moan, but hey-ho...
Anyway, subbed immediately to Monster Fun when it was announced that it would be an ongoing thing last year - for me natch, but my middle son is a BIG old IPC/Fleetway fan, having devoured all my old comics and annuals in rapid fashion.
Big Tom Paterson fans as well, who wouldn't be, so surprised to see in the Issue 1 (or Easter Special as it appears to be) there was no sign of his work.
So getting the Thrill Mail this week I can say we are slightly put out to see there is a "webshop exclusive edition" with a lovely Tom Paterson cover and a Sweeny Toddler story!

Surely as subscribers we should have received this issue instead of the standard newsstand copy?
I've subbed to a lot of comics and mags in my time and subscribers always used to get special covers etc.
It's the same price as well so I don't feel I'd be asking for anything out of the ordinary.
Hopefully this is just an oversight and in the future loyal subscribers who've taken a chance paying upfront months ago aren't overlooked for these "exclusives".
Leaves a little sour taste in the mouth, esp seeing my sons face drop when his fave story is only available if we pay again for another copy!
Rant over, maybe I'll delurk to post something happy next time
