You’ve heard from Paul Cornell and K&S Editor Janelle Siegel. You’ve seen a few pages. But why not check out a few more from the first issue of writer Cornell and artist Jimmy Broxton’s mini-series, which hits tomorrow? Hop across the Atlantic and visit a city with its own duo of crime-fighters much like Batman and Robin – but not.
And in a secret pub within the city where villains and heroes meet, a magic spell is broken, and the Knight and Squire are forced to keep the peace. Can they do it? We’ll see. In the meantime, look over the pages below to tide you over until KNIGHT AND SQUIRE #1 hits tomorrow.

Sorry, really, actually, hugely sorry not to be at NYCC. I am promised to a tiny SF convention in Britain. I’m so psyched to be doing Knight and Squire, especially with Jimmy Broxton. I’m amazed that a major US publisher is letting us get away with such deeply British nonsense. I’ve just given the Knight a deeply American butler, and they let me! Richard III is now a supervillain using social networking, and they let me! And all the whimsy turning into a rather bittersweet love story tragedy… Actually, this is the first they’ll have heard about that… cheerio!
