In the two most recent episodes of Reality Check, the Sci-Fi London podcast, we're proud to present the audio from an hour long panel about the links between Science Fiction comics and literature from this year's Spring Film Festival.

In part one - episode 2.21 - Alex Fitch talks to four practitioners of Science-Fiction comic books about their work.

These include Paul Cornell (Captain Britain and MI-13 / Doctor Who), Bryan Talbot (Grandville / The Adventures of Luther Arkwright), Daniel Merlin Goodbrey (Iron Man 2020) and Paul Duffield (Freakangels).

 Alex discusses with the panel about whether comics are an underrated way of telling SF stories, the history of serialised literature and the probable future of the medium via the internet.

In the second half of the podcast - episode 2.22 - members of the audience question the four comic creators on the panel...
