We're in lockdown, and going a little stir crazy. So, we're entertaining ourselves by making more podcasts, which hopefully will help to entertain you as you isolate yourself to help defeat this virus. Today we're exploring the other side of the Geek - the things our team is obsessive about that are not generally considered "geeky". There is no question that Hat is a massive nerd. But she also studied fine art, and holds a Master's Degree, no less. So, now we're all locked in

Free Comic Book Day is normally the first Saturday in May. It will not surprise anyone that it's been postponed. Until whe

AGAIN, SO MANY THANKS!!! Customers continue to support us by buying gift vouchers and settling their invoices. We'll be back to normal as soon as possible, and when we can get comics out to you, we'll get them to you. PODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS Obviously, The Geeks at the Gates episodes can be found on this very website. Our recommendations for great comics focused podcasts are: WORD BALLOON Great comics conversations between host John Siuntres and a pantheon of great comics cre

One of the effects of the interest generated by the "Let's make Comics!" thing (the video has been viewed more than 700 times on Facebook alone) is that a lot of people who haven't ever really read comics much have seen it and had their interest sparked. I've been seriously collecting comics for more than thirty years. There are so many aspects to them which are such second nature to me now that I don't even think about them anymore, but which are strange if you haven't grown

THERE IS NO NEWS Seriously, nothing's happening really. No word on when the delivery intended for New Comics Book Day last week will be released from Diamond UK - although it seems unlikely that will happen until current movement restrictions are relaxed - and no word on when Diamond US and Diamond International will re-start distribution, but again, it seems unlikely that anything will happen until the COVID-19 movement restrictions are relaxed. COMICS CONTEST STILL ONGOING!

"LET'S MAKE COMICS" CONTEST The video from yesterday's live session and full details of the comics making contest are available on a dedicated page on our website. Click the image below to go straight there: The quality of the video on the page is not always great - there is now a link on the page to take you to the Facebook version, which for reasons I don't pretend to understand is a significantly better resolution. The contest will run until the day after we are told we ar

Since it took all day yesterday to upload the video for embedding, we're not doing that today. If you'd rather watch the video version of this, click the link to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DestinationVenusComics/videos/488320082048898/ DELIVERIES ON HOLD FOR NOW Diamond went into full shutdown yesterday. This means that although they moved Heaven and Earth to get this week's stuff to the UK, it's now sitting in a warehouse in Runcorn until further notice. We'

Hello! The video version of this will appear below at some point (having a dickens of a job uploading it to YouTube and Facebook won't cross-post). DELIVERIES In the light of last night's broadcast by the PM, I'm currently unclear whether the delivery I'm expecting tomorrow will actually turn up. Even if it does I'm not sure I can justify putting all of you at risk by bringing them to your houses. I don't know who packed them, or what their infection status was, for a start.
