Magazine history in Germany
At the end of 2004 the first German Winx Club magazine was published by Panini. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long before they discontinued it again in early 2005. The reason for this is still unknown to me.
In July 2007 the magazine made its come back released by Blue Ocean as number 8/07. Why the choice fell on the number 8 and not number 7 corresponding to the month is still unknown to me.
Even though Germany is the only country that has regularly received new magazines since 2007, not all comics published in Italy have been adopted. Over the years, not only have comics been left out, but they have also been published out of chronological order.
The first magazine of 2024 is numbered 8, not 1. This means that the numbering of the last magazine from 2023 (No. 7) is continued directly and has been counted continuously since then.
Subscription
In issue 12/07, Blue Ocean offered a subscription to the magazine for the first time. After completing the subscription with Magazine 11/08, I received Magazine 12/08 by mail. On June 17, 2019, I received an email that issue 04/19 would be the last to be delivered by mail in the subscription model. During the subscription period between 2008 and 2019, I received the magazines on average earlier than they were available in the store.
