Writer of the top Marvel Comics title Captain Britain and renowned Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell will be signing at The Birmingham International Comics Show for both days.
Marvel's latest version of Captain Britain has proven incredibly popular, and bearing in mind the current storyline involving the Skrull invasion of Birmingham and other British landmark locations we think it's very fitting for the writer of that series to be making an appearance at the show.
Let's just hope he doesn't bring an army of marauding Skrulls with him

The following guidelines apply, please keep them in mind when you contact us.
1) The aim of this is for new people to get a chance to have their work reviewed and receive feedback, so if you've already had your work viewed by C.B. then you're not eligible for this particular review.
2) Roughly 5-6 portfolio reviews will be carried out per hour, which means you'll get around 10-12 minutes for your work to be viewed.
3) This must be signed up for in advance; you can't just turn up on the day hoping to get a slot. Please e-mail us first!
For those of you interested in a manga specific portfolio review, visit the Dimensional Manga booth throughout the day as they will be carrying out on site reviews that don't require a sign-up.
