The Phoenix

Spring Finish the Comic competition

Spring Finish the Comic competition

This spring we have a really fun new competition to keep you busy, in partnership with The Phoenix comic.

We are proud to present the brand new and mega-exciting

Spring Finish the Comic competition!

Following on from the Finish the Story competitions we have on the site every summer, we want you to complete a comic story created by Jamie Smart. The person that draws the funniest, strangest and most interesting comic will win a year’s subscription to The Phoenix, and runners up will get their hands on a stack of back issues.

Here’s what to do:


  • Download the image above – right click with the mouse and then choose “Save Picture As” (or ask an adult to help)
  • Print the picture at home or at your local library
  • Think of some really great creative ways to develop Jamie’s story
  • Finish the story with six panels of your own words and pictures (you can go onto the back of the sheet if you need more room)
  • Enter the competition! Sign up to our website and post us your entry, along with your email address and website username.

Here’s our address: Summer Reading Challenge Team, The Reading Agency, 60 Farringdon Rd, London EC1R 3GA

Good Luck!
