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.
