I think I’m partially one of the targets of my own work here, in that one of our leads is a creator who doesn’t make the most of his opportunities at one point, rather like I did. Dealing with failure, and coming to a place of being reconciled to it, is I think an area that art doesn’t venture into enough. Stories don’t have to always be about winners, and should be comforts to those who haven’t succeeded in a particular area. -- Paul Cornell

It’s about the romance of every big convention, the bittersweet journey through time and success, the highs and the lows and the silliness. It’s the story of every fan and every pro and everyone who’s just trying to make a buck in the midst of extremity. -- Paul Cornell

It’s a tragicomic satire of five decades of the world’s biggest comics festival, and the industry that parties there. This is a heartfelt insider comedy history of the rollercoaster that is the comics industry, with bite but also with love. -- Paul Cornell

"The Wild Cards World holds a special place in my heart, so to have the privilege of announcing that an industry titan like MARVEL is going to produce the narrative from the beginning as a comic book brings me no end of joy." - George R. R. Martin

icon_ukMarvel have announced they are doing a "new" Wild Cards series!
Click to embiggen the lovely cover for #1 by Steve Morris. (That is one SERIOUSLY pretty Jetboy!)
For the first time in comic book form, witness the very beginning of the Wild Cards mythos with an adaptation of the very first stories in the original Wild Cards novel. Based on stories by Harold Waldrop, Roger Zelazny and series master-mind and editor, George R.R. Martin, Wild Cards is a fascinating saga set in a whole new world reshaped by the emergence of superpowers. The limited series, titled THE DRAWING OF CARDS, will be written by a team of comic superstars, writer Paul Cornell and artist Mike Hawthorne, and serve as a perfect entry point for Wild Cards newcomers and a must-have new reimagining for Wild Cards aficionados!

It struck me, you see, that ‘The Black Cat’ would have gone very differently if that had been a dog. -- Paul Cornell

I Walk with Monsters #1
Dec. 25th, 2020 12:59 amlaughing_tree
This is a hugely important project for me, both in terms of how personal it is, and how much of a comeback to comics it is. It’s the story of a young woman and her friend who can be a monster, going hunting. I think it’s my best work in the medium, my attempt to create horror that comes from a real place, with lots of heart and character. -- Paul Cornell

Steve [Yeowell] and I are joining in with our own ridiculous take on The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. What if that story wasn’t by a Scottish writer, but was instead from an author who was… very English? -- Paul Cornell

One of my bugbears about Trek is that the popular image of Kirk’s love life is so wide of the mark. He’s all about *duty*. He has relationships, mostly, not flings. -- Paul Cornell
