Jonathan Ross is to make a guest appearance in next month's Knight and Squire.

The high-profile comics fan will appear in issue #5 of Paul Cornell's miniseries.

"It's an absolute pleasure to feature Britain's most famous comic fan, collector and now professional in an issue of Knight and Squire, and thanks very much to Jonathan for being such a sport in allowing it to happen," Cornell told The Source.

"I'm only sorry we haven't given him powers and a costume."

"Capturing Mr Ross's boyish good looks and natural charm was an artistic challenge, getting his suit right, an artistic triumph," added artist Jimmy Broxton.

Cornell previously included a cameo by Gordon Brown in his Captain Britain and MI13 series.

Knight and Squire #5 will be released on February 9.
