His last story was a one-parter illustrated by Bryan Hitch - one of his first pro jobs - and the others were by John Ridgway. Heidi's illustration is of one of Panini's very wonderful collections of the series, oversized and on very nice paper. There are seven books so far, with the eighth (covering the first half of the Sixth Doctor stories) due next month sometime. They are very highly recommended!!

The stories were excellent too, some of Mills and Wagners most fun stuff...even some early Alan Moore in there.

It's great fun. The stories are like classic Doctor Who but without the budgetary constraints. Gibbons' take on alien worlds is actually quite gorgeous at times. The back issues also had fun little essays by Jo Duffy explaining Doctor Who to Americans but I suppose these reprints won't include those. I have a few of the original Marvel back issues.

I'm surprised, though, that there isn't more coverage of IDW's new DOCTOR WHO series featuring the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones, which will be written by Gary Russell. This is, I believe, the first original DOCTOR WHO comic series released through an American publisher.

Those were some nice books. Dang, I used to love the Marvel Dr. Who reprints, whether it was Baker or Davidson as the lead character. Those were some nice books.
