Interesting analysis for those of us interested in hope and aware of the big graph that shows Reform peaked in October last year and is sliding inexorably down.

Please check out this amazing thread: the illustrated Children of Strife.

On Monday, you'll be able to watch me and @rachaelsmith.bsky.social livestreamed from the British Book Awards! www.youtube.com/live/ecAnY1x... #NibbiesWatchParty

Who Killed Nessie? by @paulcornell.bsky.social & @rachaelsmith.bsky.social is reviewed in @forteantimes.bsky.social! Very cool! “This is a comic with a love for conventions and cryptozoology at its heart. Rachael’s artwork perfectly captures both the creatures and characters.” tinyurl.com/2326v4kk

“My Life As Repetitive Epic.” A short essay by me in the new issue of @uncannymagazine.bsky.social on the strange compulsion to write. Also, Garak. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

So nearly there! Jump in!

May the Fourth be with you!

There were some very interesting attempts at lore building in this series, if I recall correctly.

I loves me a giant prop. I need to rewatch this, I vaguely remember it from my childhood.

Our new Patrons-only Telefantasy Time Jump episode is out now, in which @lizbethmyles.bsky.social and I have quite a fun time with the mileage-varying Land of the Giants. www.patreon.com/posts/telefa...

It's suuuuuuch a great shop, Paul! And you and Rachel's book on the front table is only further proof of that. They genuinely stock so much cool stuff.

With a special appearance from @paulcornell.bsky.social and @rachaelsmith.bsky.social's Nessie book, SoNo Comic Book Factory friend Jordan Clark's ANCESTRAL RECALL, and some yeti adventures from my buddy @jimmygaspero.bsky.social and @almondmilkart.bsky.social!

Lovely line for Free Comic Book Day at @proudlion.bsky.social in Cheltenham! #FCBD

Have you heard about @bluefoxbooks.bsky.social? It's our new home for prose at @bluefoxcomics.com and we're excited to be launching the fantastic Last One Out in Lychford by the wonderful @paulcornell.bsky.social! Get notified on Launch so you don't miss out!: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sim...

Ah! The Kickstarter for the Project SWORD graphic novel is funded! It's Exciting Space Adventure with magnificently beautiful art by James Gray, written by me. And there's still several weeks left to back it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

This magnificent boy - the most playful and gentle and slightly stubborn of dogs - is five years old today! Happy birthday, Hector!

First comic credit in Flash Gordon yesterday; today Kickstarter for Gerry Anderson's Project Sword has been launched. And I wrote the story! So, yes, definitely a comic writer person now. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Fully funded in one day!

ICYMI: 🧛‍♂️🏴‍☠️

Great to see this post in response to the forthcoming Salvation's Child from @aptshadow.bsky.social and @mikecollins99.bsky.social for my company! Other authors they'd like to see graphic novels from! Hmm... downthetubes.net/five-authors...

What a world we live in...new Dan Dare...and now this!! It truly is a Golden Age (for a limited definition of Golden Age).

I remember this! I read text stories in the Century 21 annuals and comics. I bought a book with a cut out/fold/stick cardboard model on at least one of the vehicles. I thought I’d missed a TV series or film. Both the in-fiction and out-of-fiction backgrounds were fascinating.

Gerry Anderson and rocketships? I'm in.

The Kickstarter for Gerry Anderson's Project SWORD, written by @lizbethmyles.bsky.social is now live! And it's going great! If you're after the rarest possible Anderson project, and a great comic at the same time, this is for you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

I just backed Gerry Anderson's Project SWORD on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Always good to see you out there in the stands sir

My midweek Blog leads on Flash Gordon coming out today, but also on a paperback edition of my Marvel novelisation, of Secret Invasion the comics series (not the TV show!) www.paulcornell.com/2026/04/flas...

This is my sixth day of horribly unreliable Internet. It was meant to be fixed by today. Now it's meant to be fixed by tomorrow. I'm coping really well without online gaming and extensive options for easy procrastination.

Hello, I am a comic writer person now. I did comic writing of Flash Gordon.

In your local comic shop today, Flash Gordon Quarterly 7, with a story by me and @lizbethmyles.bsky.social with art by the great Georges Jeanty!

"Gordon's Alive?"

"What do you mean. . .FLASH GORDON APPROACHING?!"

Flash Gordon approaching! (The issue of Flash Gordon Quarterly that @lizbethmyles.bsky.social and I have a story in is out tomorrow!)

Ploog.

Cary Bates would be the counter-example here

Steve Gerber was slightly younger than the Zap Comix crew, which is why his work felt countercultural. He was literally a hippie.

He was 19 when he started on Spider-Man and it was just under a year into his run, so yep, that's correct. Wild.

Does the maths... Gerry Conway was only twenty when Gwen fell off the bridge?

It was such a shock, when I got older, to learn how many of them were only a few years older than me.

I think how *young* the Bronze Age comics writers were is a major factor in how offhandedly radical, artistically and politically, some of that material is.

RIP Gerry Conway, author of countless seminal comic stories from my (and so many other’s) childhoods. I especially loved his pairings with artists Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, Don Newton, John Romita and Jim Aparo. A great writer and human.

Ah shit, Gerry Conway died. He created the punisher & was very outspoken in saying "if you're a cop who wears a punisher logo, frank castle fucking HATES you." He said the punisher only existed because of a fatally flawed system, & so those most harmed by that system have more claim to the symbol:

The Kickstarter goes live this Friday!

Ooh, this looks cool. 👍👍

The weekend's almost over, so if you need a way to assuage the pain of the coming week's commute, why not nibble on one of the 280 episodes of my HUGO-NOMINATED (!) Eating the Fantastic podcast? My chatting and chewing with wise and witty guests will surely make the miles fly by. pod.link/1083737796

So sad to hear this. Great Bronze Age writer, wonderful Spider-Man run.
