by

Villordsutch reviews The Story of U.S. Gold… Any child of the 1980’s – perhaps early 90’s too – will have the medallion of U.S. Gold burnt into their brain.  You’ll possibly blink and it’s scarred onto your retina for it was emblazoned on virtually – what seemed like – every advert, game, free poster, bouncing novelty whatever.  […]

by

Villordsutch reviews Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency #4… The penultimate chapter in Dirk Gently’s first big comic-book storyline!
