Marvel Panel in Oxford! Stolen Face!

On Wednesday, December 10th at 5.30pm I’ll be taking part in a panel discussion at Blackwell’s in Oxford, chiefly about my Marvel Age of Comics book on the Avengers. I’ll be joined by Jason Atomic and Owen Michael Johnson and we’ll be interviewed by Sarah Miles. Tickets cost £6 and are available here, where you can find all the info. (I’ll be happy to sign things after the panel.)

Quotes by Paul Cornell (?)

“He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the universe. And... he's wonderful. - Tim Latimer”

“John Smith: Mankind doesn't need warfare and bloodshed to prove itself. Everyday life can provide honour and valour. Let's hope that from now on this country can find its heroes in smaller places. In the most ordinary of deeds.”
