- A goldmine
So packed with details on Marvel UK and Transformers comics in general, it’s utterly fascinating. Thats what brought me here. But Simon and Andrew’s conversations about their wider careers, and life as freelancers, are just as interesting. The episode about the speculator boom and crash is riveting. Good work, guys.

A lovely trip into the past, and my childhood back to the 80’s of Marvel UK and Simon Furman who along with Geoff Senior were huge influences on me. Really enjoyable anecdotes from all.
