Why the 8th Doctor?

There are Doctor Who websites everywhere: doctorwhonews.net, tardisnewsroom & kasterborous.com to name only a few. In all the websites on the World Wide Web, there are no websites devoted to the 8th Doctor. Sadly the Paul McGann Doctor has received little press mostly because he had only one TV appearance. But the 8th Doctor has lived on beyond the FOX movie. He has had adventures in a range of books and not to mention the Big Finish Audio Series (which this website counts as Doctor Who Cannon). The 8th Doctor is as much apart of series history as any of the other actors who played the part. So I ask: Why not the 8th Doctor.

8th Doctor Comics on the Way!



Paul McGann's 8th Doctor is getting a series of 8th Doctor comic books from Titan (the same publisher that has been producing print adventures for David Tennant, Matt Smith, Christopher Eccleston and Peter Capaldi's incarnations of late).

Issue 1 has been written by George Mann and drawn by Emma Vieceli. It will be on sale from Wednesday the 28th of October 2015. The issue will mark the start of a five-part storyline.

"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!"
