Paul Cornell’s Christmas Quiz for the Comp Box Comics

Each year, Paul Cornell treats us all with his 12 blogs of Christmas, and this year is no exception.  But the DC exclusive writer of Action Comics and Knight and Squire has something special for you this year.  Finding himself with an extra DC comp box containing 122 comics, 25 trade paperbacks, 5 hardcovers, and one Sgt. Rock Showcase, Paul thought he'd share the wealth.  Why would he do this? Because he is a fantastic guy. That's why.

But you'll have to work for it.  There are ten difficult quiz questions posted.  Email the answers to Paul, and the person with the highest score wins.  In the event of a tie, there's even an essay question.  Yes, it's a lot of work, but that is also a lot of comics, which will be sent to wherever in the world the winner would like.

For more, including the very specific email address where you can send your answers, go to Paul Cornell's blog!

  1. Challenge accepted, sir.

  2. My god these are hard.

  3. @TheAskanison  You’re not wrong. My first comment was very rash.

  4. My head hurt just reading those questions, and I consider myself somewhat of a fan of Brit pop culture. Good luck to anyone who gives this a shot – I tap out.

  5. Not even going to bother, questions caused vertigo.

  6. I goose-egged the whole thing.  Thanks England!

  7. Wow. These are tough. I’ll give it a whirl though. Why not?

  8. geez, those questions would be hard enough for a self-aware Google let alone mere mortals. 

  9. I thought being English I would have some sort of inside knowledge or extra edge on all of you. Tragically, I don’t.

  10. @Jordan0061  Well at least that’s comforting to the rest of us.

  11. Cornell really managed to make this google-proof.

  12. These are HARD. Payback for the American Revolution? I think so.

  13. Hard is a bit of an understatement – impressively Google resistant bunch of questions – for what would be a fantastic prize so definitely worth some time trying but I suspect however much time I put into it my chances of winning are slim – even if my “superpower” is my ability to search things out on the Internet… 
     

  14. I never seem to have time to take part in events like these, but I’m always happy to see them.  Enjoy.

  15. Bring it on, Cornell!

  16. If it wer’nt for the fact that I’m Knee Deep in Finals right now I would totally do this. alas….

  17. Wow…. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Good luck to all who enter!

  18. Going to do this.  I did actually win something from the dear Mr. Cornell (autographed books, including CB & MI 13) and it was a lot of fun.  My Googlefu got a lot of exercise.
