Who and Cap Interviews
I'm very much looking forward to the Dublin City Comic Convention this weekend, which is always good fun. In the meantime, a couple of quick interviews. The first one is done by the youthful creators of Mad Doctor Who Magazine, which is full of enthusiasm, and has design standards those of us who worked on fanzines back in the day could only dream about:

The second is about Captain Britain, mostly the end of the current arc, but also dropping a few spoilers about the next story, 'Vampire State' (or 'Captain Britain vs. Dracula'), complete with four pages of lovely Leonard Kirk pencils from issue eight:

Still incredibly busy, but it's all good stuff, so I shall love you and leave you. Cheerio!

All sounds very interesting, Paul. This arc has been a lot of fun, so far. A great mix of action and character plots being built up. There's a lot going on there, but never in a forced or intrusive way.
But it was your comments on the next arc that got me:
"And after that: Dracula and David Cameron have a chat on the moon, magical assassins come after our heroes, Dane goes to Wakanda; and British Intelligence agree that the SAS raid on Dracula is on in 'Vampire State.'"
This sounds nothing short of brilliant. ;D
First Gordon Brown, now the Leader of the Opposition?
And I cannot wait to see Dane have some words with T'Challa. The very nature of the Ebony Blade is unlikely to make him want to give that sword back.
read comics as a teen in early 80s and have just come back to them, trying to find a title that will entertain me. Think I've found in Captain Britain. Bought issues 5 and 6 yesterday and laughed out loud - a rare thing in comics - at the line about daytime tracksuits. But did wonder who still says 'old top'? Is this for US readers or an in-joke? Anyway, keep up the good work and I will continue to sort through the confusing plethora of titles that have been born since I used to read Warrior and 2000AD.
Thank you, Mr. Sword. And I'm glad we got you back, Art, that's great to hear. 'Old top' is something Alistaire always used to say, so I think one use is all right for nostalgia!
Wait...I just heard this comic was cancelled...tell me that isn't true. What the crack, this is one of the best comics going on!
That's not true. Rest easy!
Wow, that rumor gave me a scare!
Very glad that wasn't true!
I hate to have to contact you this way, but I wanted to ask if you would be interested in contributing to a book of philosophical essays on Doctor Who. I find the Doctor Who episodes that you are involved in are full of philosophical themes and meanings, and I think fans would appreciate hearing more of your insights. If you are interested, I can send you the official call for papers and can answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your time, and keep up the wonderful work!
No thank you, Court, I haven't the time!
Just read your afterword to In Their Own Word 5.
I bloomin' love you Paul Cornell - you've summed up everything I've always wanted to express about why the McCoy era means so damn much to me.
Sad to see Cameron won't be gracing the pages of Captain Britain, maybe in eighteen months eh?
Hi Paul, apropos of nothing other than my love of the good Captain and co, have you seen this week's Batman, 682? There's a penciller in there I've not come across previously, Lee Garbett, and he does a superb job with inker Trevor Scott. Should Leonard need a fill-in, please consider him - he's a Brit (and apparently from the West Midlands - too late!). You likely know him, already.

Given how well he draws young Robin, he could work on the issue in which Cap meets Private Britain, the work experience sidekick.
