Our Story
The Phoenix is a weekly comic for children. Most of our readers are aged between 7 and 14 but we have many older and younger readers too.
In each issue we publish a range of stories. One or two are serialised over a number of weeks. Each episode ends on a cliff hanger. Over time these stories are published as full graphic novels in our Phoenix Presents series. This means we can tell more in depth and high quality stories than you might expect to find in a children’s comic.
Alongside this we always publish funny comics (as we know kids love to laugh) and as much non-fiction as we can. Our most famous non-fiction series is called Co**se Talk, in which famous people from history are dug up and interviewed about their life and achievements.
The Phoenix really is very different to any other comic. Think of us as a TV studio transmitting all kinds of wonderful stories over the course of the year. Some funny, some thrilling, some magical, some moving – and all entertaining and memorable, and much more involving!
The Phoenix is published by David Fickling Comics Ltd. DFC is a sister company to David Fickling Books Ltd, an award winning and internationally respected children’s publisher.
Both DFC and DFB are small family owned businesses that are focused on publishing high quality stories that encourage children to read.
Helping children develop a love of reading underpins everything we do.
