Having carefully made sure I wasn’t breaking any secret non-disclosing rules I am happy to announce some news (which is a welcome relief from my previous two introspective blog posts)!
I am writing comics again; notably the strip for next year’s Doctor Who Annual, as well as a couple for the very popular and wonderful children’s magazine Doctor Who Adventures.
It’s an absolutely great feeling, after several years of self publishing, to finally discover that there are editors out there who think I can write comics, and not only that but to make even a small contribution to the very long legacy of Doctor Who strips is a real honour.
I remember finding the Sixth Doctor graphic novel Voyager in my local library as a young boy and being completely obsessed with the surreal and dark universe inside, before moving on to see such luminaries as Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons cutting their teeth in collected strips from Doctor Who weekly. Those books were exactly the gateway drug I needed to go from being a fan of Doctor Who to a fan of comics. The next month I picked up Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing and it was all over for me.
