Martin Lock (born c. 1950[1] in the United Kingdom) is a British comic book critic, writer, and publisher. As publisher of the fanzines BEM and Fantasy Advertiser, and then publisher of Harrier Comics, he was an important figure in British comics fandom in the 1970s and 1980s.
All during his publishing career, Lock had a day job in the sales department of a company in the chemical industry, the income from which helped finance his printing bills. When his employer moved its offices from London to Worcester in the late 1970s, Lock relocated as well.[1] By the time he started Harrier in the mid-1980s, he had returned to London, settling in Northwood, Middlesex.
