British writer Rob Williams reveals his wish to become your genius, sexual overlord.

The Boy Wonder is filling in an application form as we speak!!!!

Take it away Rob!

The Questionnaire

So who are you then and what do you do?

Rob Williams, comic writer.

What have you done that I might recognize?

An indie comic called Cla$$war from a few years back, loads of stuff for 2000AD - Low Life, The Ten-Seconders, Breathing Space, Judge Dredd, Asylum. Wolverine # 49 for Marvel. Star Wars: Rebellion and Star Wars Tales for Dark Horse.

What have you done that I don’t know about?

Lots of things, hopefully. Or else you'd be omniscient.

Tell me something you have not told anyone else.

In my heart of hearts I'd much rather be Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam.

Chocolate or Chips?

Chocolate. Sexual chocolate.

What word do you think is underused?

Genius. In conjunction with the name Rob Williams.

What book do you wished you had worked on?

Batman Year One, although I'm not sure what I could've added to the end product. I could've made Mr. Miller and Mar Mazzuchelli coffee, I guess.

What book do you think would have been better if you had worked on it?

Batman Year One. My coffee would have perked up Miller and Mazzuchelli to even greater heights.

Are you underpaid or overrated?

Both.

JLA or Avengers?

Depends who the creators are. Giffen and Dematteis' Justice League every time.

Thanos or Darkseid?

Darkseid. He's Kirby-powered. Although Galactus would kick both their asses.

Judge Dredd or Hellboy?

Hellboy. But if Mignola drew Dredd...

Are your choices influenced by your current employer?

My choices on whether or not to work are, certainly, otherwise I don't get paid.

If you could be involved in telling a story featuring any two characters who would they be?

Gah! Brain implodo. I'd like to do a Daredevil, Bullseye story. It would probably be ill-advised though. It's all been done rather well already.

If you were a sandwich what would your filling be?

Sarah Michelle Gellar in season two of Buffy, before she went thinner than the plot of Superman Returns.

Can you get me a job?

I can't even get myself one.

Save the world or rule the galaxy?

Bwahahahaha!

One thing that annoys you about comic fans? (Only one please!!)

Their continuing reluctance to accept me as their glorious sexual overlord.

CGC – blessing or curse?

I have absolutely no opinion on this.

Who sent this to you and do you like them or merely tolerate them?

Laurence Campbell sent me this, an annoyingly talented man.

Who are you going to send this on too and do you think they will reply?

Absolutely no-one.

Any words of wisdom before you go?

I strongly suggest that people buy the current run of Star Wars Rebellion from Dark Horse, written by me and drawn by Michel Lacombe. Also, the Wolverine graphic novel Blood & Sorrow, which features the story 'Better To Give' by Laurence Campbell and myself. (To buy Blood and Sorrow Click Here!)

Thank you and goodnight!
