Doctor Who: Earworm Part Four

Yes, it's the final instalment of Earworm, my Doctor Who Adventures comic story!  When I've figured whereabouts to permanently place all four pages on the site, I'll run them together.  So that you can, you know, read them from top to bottom, going down...

Doctor Who: Earworm Part Three

Slightly later than advertised, it's the third instalment of Earworm, the four-page story I wrote for Doctor Who Adventures magazine!  Missed the first two?  Read the story from the beginning, here.

Final part tomorrow!

Doctor Who: Earworm Part Two

Here's Part Two of my four-part Doctor Who Adventures comic story, Earworm.  See yesterday's blogpost, here, for Part One.  See you same time tomorrow, for Part Three!

Doctor Who: Earworm Part One

Hello!  In February, I wrote a four-page comic story for the brilliant weekly magazine Doctor Who Adventures.  With their very kind permission, I'm going to run a page of that story every afternoon at around 3pm from now 'til Saturday.  Enjoy!

Doctor Who Developments

My first comic strip, Earworm, was published in Doctor Who Adventures magazine on February 11.  Writers don't get to see the artwork ahead of publication, so it was a joy to see the finished article upon returning from holiday a few days back.  Artists John Ross and Alan Craddock did a brilliant job of bringing this story to the page.  I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hope to do more comic strippery soon.

In other Eleventh Doctor news, my BBC audiobook Doctor Who: The Gemini Contagion now has two release dates: March 1 for download-to-own and March 10 for shiny CD.  My comp copies arrived yesterday and I finally got to hear the finished recording.  I'm blown away by Meera Syal's delivery - she really goes at the material, switching voices and accents with ease.  I feel slightly guilty for two things: making her do a fair bit of guttural bellowing and also including such an international cast of characters.  The voice she's given alien scientist Korn Palloa is particularly applause-worthy.

At the moment, I'm still working hard on two Doctor Who projects for Big Finish.  Enjoying them immensely.  Hope you're splendidly well!  Good day.

Doctor Who Adventures: Earworm

When I was a kid, I'd write and draw Doctor Who comic strips. Loads of them, in endless notebooks. Most of those tales, funnily enough, involved the Doctor running away from Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans, as laser bolts and the like whizzed over his shoulders.

My first Doctor Who comic story as an adult hit UK shelves today. I've written Earworm, in Doctor Who Adventures magazine. Featuring the Eleventh Doctor (or Matt Smith, to most non-fan folk), Amy and Rory, it's about a young boy who keeps hearing weird music. He's persuaded to visit a doctor, who turns out to be... well, I'm sure you can imagine.

As I love both Doctor Who and comic books, this is a significant development for me, and also a deep source of joy.

In further Who news, the next thing of mine to be released is my Doctor Who BBC audiobook The Gemini Contagion. Read by the excellent Meera Syal, it's out in the UK on March 10 as a single CD story - and also as a double-pack with Martin Day's The Jade Pyramid from March 15. Excellent! I was recently interviewed about The Gemini Contagion by a couple of Doctor Who magazines, so those should be out closer to release.

Good day to you, specialface.
