Secret History: the Doctor Who audio plays
Big Finish: I can't sing their praises loudly enough. They’re ethical and honourable, they’re creative and they really understand the heart-warming British magic of Doctor Who.
Welcome to my Secret History of Comics, where I’ve shared with you all my anecdotes and insider knowledge on Marshal Law and Charley’s War. Next year I’ll publish these in book form, along with more secret histories of my most iconic characters.
Now we’re in a special Doctor Who section, in the run-up to the transmission of Star Beast, the first Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special!
All my Doctor Who posts will be collected and published in my new book Pageturners: How To Create Iconic Stories From The Creator of 2000AD.
Pageturners is available for pre-order now!
The e-book can be pre-ordered now, and both e-book and paperback will go on sale on 26th November, after Doctor Who and the Star Beast has broadcast.
Such was Star Beast and Iron Legion’s popularity, they have since been adapted into excellent audio plays by Alan Barnes. I’ve also written three Doctor Who audio plays for Big Finish: Dead London, The Scapegoat, and the Song of Megaptera. I have fond memories of all three of them. And for Big Finish, whose praises I also can’t sing loudly enough. They’re ethical and honourable. Without going into details, they always do the right thing, which makes them a rarity amongst British comic publishers. They’re creative and they really understand the heart-warming British magic of Doctor Who—that is so special for all of us, creators and fans—and they were kindness itself to me. I sat in the studio when the last two named stories were being made and it was a fantastic and memorable experience.
Dead London (2008)
The Doctor (Paul McGann) and Lucie land in London, but which one? They are trapped in a maze of interlocking Londons from Roman times to the present day.
