Well, 2007 gets more and more exciting: I've just been commissioned to write a comic strip for Doctor Who Adventures magazine! Whooo! As this is the first time I've done anything like this, it's all a bit scary.
For those who don't know about such things ('Do you draw the pictures?') how it works is that I've come up with the story (stretching over two installments of six pages each) and the dialogue that goes in the speech bubbles. I pass the script onto Moray Laing, the magazine's editor, and he gets talented artist John Ross to draw the pictures to fit my descriptions.
It's called Cold War and features the tenth Doctor and Martha (as played on TV by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman - like you didn't already know!). And it'll be out in October!

And jolly exciting it is too! For kids, but with a serious moral point, the germ of a real scientific problem at its core and lots of jokes (one or more of which may even be funny). All that in, what 10 pages? I'm really looking forward to it actually, and if there's a good free gift (latex Martha mask?, Macrame Macra? Mr. Dalek Sec Tea Cosy?) I might even buy that DWA. Besides I want to know what the canonical Doctor Who helicopter approaching noise is...
It's great. Keep us posted as to when it's out, and I will unashamedly pick up a copy in Smiths!
I'll ashamedly buy a copy, while talking loudly about an imaginary niece I'll be implying it's for.
