    Thanks for the trip(s) back in time.

    Was James Cameron in third place for mentions in Wizard behind Rob & Todd during their heyday? 🤔

  • A trip back in time

    Wizard was my go to growing up reading comics and Adam and the gang do a phenomenal job bringing these issues back to life. With fun stories and insight into the theme of each issue, they make listening fun and engaging.

  • Awesome!

    Randomly discovered this podcast while searching for back issues online of ‘Wizard’ magazine that I’m currently collecting! So this is a pleasant surprise and a fantastic idea; the magazine gave me hours of entertainment that I fondly recall decades later and this podcast recaptures all that by being a podcast guide to the comic guide. Well done, all involved, I’m a fan!
