Hammer Films vs Disney, The Penguin Book of Comics, Thoughts on Mortality and Collecting

This week Ben’s flying solo! First its the odd tale of the time Hammer Films and Walt Disney both set out to make a film about Dr. Syn, the Pirate turned Preacher/ Smuggler.
 
Then, in a very special Let’s Check in With Ben, he talks about the emotional roller-coaster ride that was the recent Estate Sale of someone with geeky, Gen X taste and a flair for hoarding. 

Ben also chats about a book that was his first glimpse into grown-up comic book art, The Penguin Book of Comics, 1967.
