DOCTOR WHO:THE EIGHTH DOCTOR #1 Writers: George Mann Artist: Emma Vieceli Publisher: Titan Comics Frequency: 1 (of 5) Page Count: 32pp Price: $3.99 On sale Date: October 28, 2015
“I’M THE DOCTOR, AND I’D VERY MUCH LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING IN MY HOUSE…”
Get ready for an all-new season of comics adventures featuring the Eighth Doctor, as played by Paul McGann in the Doctor Who movie, fan-favorite minisode Night of the Doctor… and over fourteen years (and counting!) of astounding Big Finish audio spectaculars!
Five amazing, interconnected new stories take the Doctor on a rollercoaster of threat and misadventure, as he investigates the mysteries surrounding his new companion Josie. Victorian magic shows, murderous trees, lost books, crystalline life-forms, barges in space crammed with the undead… and the grand journey all begins in a sleepy Welsh town… besieged by living paintings!
Buckle up for a wild ride that embraces all the Gothic Romance and interstellar terror of the Doctor’s eighth incarnation!
Issue #1 comes with four covers to collect:
COVER A: REGULAR COVER: Alice X Zhang Order code: AUG151711
COVER B: PHOTO COVER Order code: AUG151712
COVER C –1:10 INCENTIVE VARIANT: Warren Pleece Order code: AUG151713
COVER D – BLANK SKETCH COVER INCENTIVE VARIANT Order code: AUG151714
Since it’s starting to feel less and less likely that I will even attempt the modern Doctors (I had Nine’s basic sketch done, it’s just that I can’t deal with Ten), you guys might as well get the full classic line up (yes, I know that these aren’t even close to true scale, it’s all in the name of cartoon exaggeration.)
Oh my God I love them all so much this is incredible
So this is something I hadnt shared other than on my personal facebook but back in November there was a convention I had bought my ticket for and everthing but due to not having a way there I didnt get to go-
But then something amazing happened… I had a friend who went and who even hosted Paul Mcganns panel and sad as I was… I went to work that day and had a voice mail from none other than the 8th doctor himself with condolences I missed the convention since my car died and had no way there-
This was so magical and I am so thankful for my friend who pulled it off. Go ahead and take a listen:
Christian of MarkWho42 is who did it for me and ugh forever thankful. Hopefully actually meeting paul this april in person!!
P.s :
Sucks I missed the call, but I have this godly voice mail to make up for it forever and ever.
[ID: the first image is the icon for a slideshow app called “slides”, with text that reads “Second Doctor fans be like / this is my favorite episode”
The second image is of a completely blank white background with text that reads “Eighth Doctor fans be like / this is my favorite episode”. ]
{Joke Explanations:
Many of the Second Doctor’s episodes were lost by the BBC, and only exist as hilariously bad, disjointed screenshots that then have the original audio overlayed on them as the screenshots are zoomed in and out on, rotated, or almost worse, just sit still on the screen while screeching sound effects turn it into a parody of itself. For viewing examples, please look up the scene where the First Doctor Regenerates into the Second Doctor, and Two’s first few minutes on screen. Sound warning for the video. It’s hilariously bad.
For the Eighth Doctor joke, it is a reference to the Audio Drama “Scherzo” where the Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard are trapped in a blank white universe. It is a fantastic horror episode with the main monster being a creature made entirely of sound, perfectly mixing existential horror with the emotional turmoil of the characters having to talk about their feelings and deal with the emotional/physical fallout of the previous episode. }
Requests that I doodled on stream! Twelve and Romana for @bird-of-paradox , Seven meeting Thirteen for @lurking-latinist and Eight sharing some sad and angry stories with Thirteen for an anonymous request <3
Thank you for keeping me company while I was drawing, my tablet wasn’t very cooperative, I had to use the old one and EHHHHH
