On Wednesday February 12, writer Paul Cornell and I will be signing our Star Trek: Year Five Valentine’s Day Special at starting at 7:00pm at Atomic Basement Comics.
I’m really proud of this book. It’s got a great script by Paul that has all the best, most charming aspects of James T. Kirk presented in a fresh, modern narrative. The story feels remarkably significant and life-spanning, while being told in only 20 pages. The interior colors are by my friend Charlie Kirchoff and letters by Neil Uyetake. And one of the variant covers (pictured) is by me, linework and color! I can’t wait for everybody to see this one.
Paul and I are signing at Atomic Basement Comics and then we’re off to the Gallifrey One convention this weekend at the Mariott Los Angeles Airport Hotel, where we will be talking about the book again as a part of the Current Star Trek Comics panel on Sunday afternoon at 2pm!
It’s a free event, so come see us!

I am delighted to be returning as a guest to the Gallifrey One convention, February 14-16 at the Marriott Los Angeles Airport Hotel. I have a great time every year at Gallifrey One, and this is the first time I’ll be attending as a local, since moving to Los Angeles in December!
This year I will NOT have a table in the Dealers Room, but there will still be plenty of opportunities to see me and (if you are so inclined) buy my art!
Here’s my schedule:
Friday, February 14
1:00pm – Autographs
I’ll be signing autographs and selling prints in the Autograph area for two hours each day of the convention. Autographs are always free and I’m happy to sign items you already own. Stop by and say hello!
6:00pm – The Game of Rassilon
Christopher Jones • Dan Peck • Michael Nixon • Ben Paddon • Riley Silverman
Once more, we play our dangerous game, a game of chess against our old adversaries… wait. That’s Hunt for Red October. Sorry. This is silly Doctor Who speed role-playing in front of an audience. Come see the fun!
1:00pm – Autographs
It’s the second daily autographic block. I should be there until 3pm. Come see me!
4:00pm – Taking Your Love of Doctor Who to the Next Level
Christopher Jones • Lauren Bancroft • Abie Ekenezar • Andy Hicks • Jennifer Picker • Brian Uiga • Kevin Wilcox
I started as a Doctor Who fan and now I draw Doctor Who comics! Crazy, right? Come here about the individual journeys of the panelists from Who fandom to something… more!
8:00pm – The Masquerade of Mandragora 2020, Featuring “The Time of the Comedy”
Christopher Jones • Tony Lee • Lauren Bancroft • Abie Ekenezar • Joseph Scrimshaw • Riley Silverman
Something funny will happen to fill time during the Masquerade judging. We hope.
11:00am – Christopher Jones: Illustrating the Future
If I had titled this I would have called it Doctor Who: Heralds of Destruction – Live commentary. I see actors do live commentary on their TV episodes all the time at these conventions. Why can’t I do the same for my comic book work? I’ll be talking about my creative process and sharing some behind-the-scenes stories and easter eggs from the Third Doctor mini-series I drew, based on a story by Paul Cornell!
Last chance of the weekend to come get something signed or buy one of my prints. Don’t miss out! (I’ll have to leave a bit before 2pm to get to my next panel…
2:00pm – Current Star Trek Comics
Paul Cornell • Jody Houser • Christopher Jones • Collin Kelly • Jackson Lanzing • Denton Tipton Paul and I will be talking about our brand-new Star Trek: Year Five Valentine’s Day special as part of a presentation on what’s happening with IDW’s Star Trek comics.
Again, I’m always happy to talk to fans and make new friends, so please come say hello. Autographs and photos are always free!
