Travelling Man had its humble beginnings in the late 1980s when two friends, Nabil and Simon, were looking to use their passion for role-playing games to escape their dead-end jobs. This started as a play-by-mail game called Star Marines, which they ran for some time — before looking up to notice the extensive library of games that had amassed around them. Then they had a bright idea. The first store opened in 1991 on Hyde Park Corner in Headingley, Leeds.
A few years later they had already expanded and relocated to Leeds city centre, where the flagship store still stands today. Today, four stores serve comics and games fans across the North of England — and the same passion that started it all is still very much alive.
Why "Travelling Man"?
A name that is a mission statement.
"Named after the prototypical adventurer from the games it continues to sell today, "Travelling Man" became both a mission statement and a company name — to be always moving forward and to keep exploring the rich genres and worlds that games, comics and independent press have to offer."
