Who…?
From the tone of his email, Tony Lee was very excited about this. We guess some others will be, too, although it whooshed right over our head.
The double page splash from issue #6 of Doctor Who: The Forgotten, out January 21st (IDW) that I’ve been talking about for a year. Art by Kelly Yates.

ohmigod! All the Doctors!

…wasn’t Pia Guerra doing the art for this particular series?

If they’re “very very unhappy” then why are most of them smiling amiably?

I’m with Sean W. What happened to Pia Guerra? I started reading issue #3 and found Guerra nowhere to be seen. I missed her art terribly.

In response to Sean and Gianco…
Pia Guerra had to drop the book due to the death of someone close to her. She did issues 1, 2, and 5, with Stefano Martino picking up 3 and Kelly Yates picking up 4 and 6.

It’s a real shame that Pia Guerra had to leave the project; her pencils for issues 1 and 2 were stunning. Still, the series itself is very well written and a treat for Doctor Who fans. If you have even the slightest interest in the good Doctor, you should pick up the first issue and see if it grabs you.

A fun double-page spread, but Kelly Yates really needs to work on the likenesses of Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Peter Davison. Troughton’s Doctor, in particular, is barely recognizable.
I’m saddened that Pia Guerra had to leave the series. She was doing brilliant work and complemented Tony Lee’s script perfectly. Hopefully she’ll come back for a one-shot or another mini-series somewhere down the line.

Cameron - they’re smiling because they’re about to f**k someones s**t up.
They ALWAYS like to f**k someones s**t up…

Okay, Tony, here’s a tougher one…What happened to the stripes on the Fifth Doctor’s trousers?
12/16/08 at 2:14 pm
The characters’ clothes, at least, are recognizable. It’s a disappointing image since the actors’ likenesses weren’t captured well.
12/16/08 at 2:30 pm
I think I’d rather read a comic where I can recognise The Doctor than one where I can recognise Jon Pertwee.
I mean, obviously I’m not including THE NEW JON PERTWEE ADVENTURES in that. Obviously.
//\Oo/\\
12/16/08 at 2:33 pm
I’m not an expert in things Doctor, but I’m pretty sure that dissing Pertwee qualifies you for a public stoning.
12/16/08 at 2:51 pm
I love Jon Pertwee, Heidi. From scarecrow to Spottyman and everything in between.
AND I DON’T MIND ADMITTING IT.
I…I also miss Willie Rushton. I prefer to think that, when he dies, his energy split into two beings: Nick Frost, and Bill Bailey.
But I do mind admitting that.

Tennent and Eccelson are seemingly standing on the same plane, is Tennent 7 feet tall with the head the size of a large watermelon?

Where’s Peter Cushing? :>

Getting character likenesses correctly can be a real challenge for most artists in this business. As an artist, I’m loathe to criticize a peer’s work publicly. As a Who fan, I … well, never mind.

And nary a sign of Jerry Cornelius anywhere.

Apparently, the 6th Doctor just returned from getting his hair dyed.

I was gonna talk some shit too but then I decided to try drawing the Doctors myself instead. My (incomplete) version of the spread:

[…] First, a two-page spread of all ten Doctors by Kelly Yates, from an upcoming Doctor Who comic book. (via The Beat) Nice idea, but the art isn’t a style I’m into, and something about the figures seems rather off: arms a little long, legs a little short, faces not quite right… […]

That’s great.
12/18/08 at 5:42 pm
That’s not “ALL” the Doctors. It’s missing the ones we haven’t seen yet. :*)
12/19/08 at 12:36 pm
This is why the comic medium is great, you can do things regular forms of entertainment can’t.

Thanks Ian!
