Superior Kapow

At the Kapow Comic Convention in London this year I was pleased to be able to take part in two Guinness World Record attempts, for Most Contributors To A Comic Book and Fastest Production Of A Comic Book, and now the results have appeared, in the form of the Superior Kapow World Record Special #1.

The comic, put together (in less than twelve hours) and plotted by Mark Millar, features the work of Dave Gibbons, John Romita Jr., Frank Quitely, David Lloyd, Jock and many more. All proceeds go to the Yorkhill Sick Children's Hospital in Scotland, so be sure to pick up a copy from your comic shop this week. It's a limited edition of 10,000 copies, so they'll be going fast. (The smartarse internet meme about that is to say 'oh, but that limits the amount of cash raised', but actually an unlimited edition would be regarded by comic shop owners as much less valuable, and might not have sold 10K. I think that number's been carefully decided upon.)

The Stephen Baxter interview went very well, I thought, with a packed upstairs room at the Antelope, and Stephen seemed pleased. It's been recorded, so I hope to present it to you all at some point in the future. Cheerio!
