Since setting up this website (which is either the third or forth incarnation of destinationvenus.co.uk) we've written/filmed forty seven Wednesday Waffles and One Hundred and Eleven Daily Waffles. And now, as we emerge from lockdown, blinking in the light of a new dawn, we're "pulling a Marvel" and rebooting the Wednesday Waffle from #1. The Wednesday Waffle was originally intended to be a place f

The shop has been closed ever since. We spent lockdown trying to keep people supplied, delivering by hand and posting out comics.

MARVEL WALKS BACK ON DIGITAL ONLY You may remember a few weeks ago I was rather miffed that several Marvel titles were effectively being cancelled as print comics and that the final few issues would be digital only. Well, I wasn't the only person annoyed by this, and now it ap

We will be asking customers to remain at least 2m away from anyone they don't live with, and we will be limited to two customers at any one time, so we might have to ask you to queue outside.
