The premium subscription is an exclusive offer giving you the opportunity to receive additional gifts throughout the collection by paying only £1.50 extra per issue. That means as a premium subscriber you get all of the benefits of a regular subscription (including the subscription gifts), plus you receive 6 bumper graphic novels throughout your collection.

How can I get a premium subscription?

You can begin a premium subscription by subscribing here and selecting the premium subscription option – please note that you must subscribe from Issue 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to be eligible for premium subscription. If you have already begun your subscription but wish to upgrade to a premium subscription, you can do so before you reach Issue 5. In order to upgrade, please contact our Customer Service Team.

When will I receive my premium subscription gifts?

Your first premium subscription gift will arrive with issue 7 and subsequent gifts with issues 25, 43, 61, 79 and 97. There are six in total.

When I start my premium subscription, what issue will I start paying the additional £1.50 from?

You will start paying the extra £1.50 from your starting issue. The free issue you’re entitled to as a subscriber will of course remain free. If you start your subscription at a later issue you just have to pay an additional £1.50 per issue for the issues you have missed. Please note that you can only upgrade your premium subscription until Issue 5.

If you have not yet received your first gift, you will be entitled to a refund.

If you have received your first gift and then decide to cancel before you receive the second premium kit, you will only receive a refund on the issues you have paid the extra £1.50 on since the first premium gift.

If you have received your second premium gift and then decide to cancel before you receive your third premium gift, you will only receive a refund on the issues you have paid the extra £1.50 on since the second premium gift. The same principle applies for all premium books.
