91: ThinkWORKS 91 Adventures in Comics 3: Comic Quest- The Untold Adventures of UK Collectors in the 70s

from ThinkWORKS: Because Thinking Is The Hardest Work There Is. · host ThinkWORKS

Before comic shops. Before collectors. Before anyone thought this stuff mattered. In this episode of ThinkWORKS we go to issue 3 of our Adventures in Comics mini-series, and head back to 1970s Britain — to newsagents, spinner racks, and the thrill of the hunt. From The Mighty World of Marvel to DC’s The Shadow, we explore how UK kids discovered comics by chance, not design. It’s a story of pocket money, persistence, and the moment comics stopped being disposable… and started becoming part of who we are. Join in the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/4e4d86c5-dd0d-41fd-856c-d5a4a09a6d3a
