The Ronald McDonald & Friends magazine started coming out around the end of 2000. It ended in early 2003 for the replacement Ronald McDonald Comic. It is targeted towards 5 to 9 year olds.

This comic book first showed the new design of the Ronald McDonald characters when the first issue was given out in January - February 2003. At the end of the first issue it said "To Be Continued next issue..." but nobody knew when the second issue would be.

After the first issue, it was never advertised and as far as I know only 4 issues were made. If anyone knows any different or has pictures of later issues, I would be pleased to hear from you.

The pictures of issues 3 & 4 seen here are taken from Italian editions I picked up while in Italy. I assume they are the same as the UK editions.
