The Cast of Doctor Who unauthorized, #1 (Doctor Who Month)



In this Blue Water Comics offering, we’re giving the biographies of 4 actors to portray the Doctor. Along with the first actor to ever play the Doctor, William Hartnell, this book introduces readers to Tom Baker (4th), Paul McGann (8th), and Matt Smith (11th and current Doctor.)
It’s a very sweet tribute to the long running science fiction series that is just days away from celebrating 50 years! Each biography is great as is the art. I like that a different artist is used for each actor and the segue ways are beautifully done as a tribute to the Doctor.
TO my knowledge, there hasn’t been a second issue. That’s a shame, because there are 7 more actors who could use the bio treatment (8 if you could Peter Cushing’s movie tenure as Doctor Who, not The Doctor. I would love to read more. I’m not sure if Blue Water didn’t make more because this didn’t sell or if IDW or the BBC ordered a cease and desist. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
Timey Whimey, Wibbly Wobbly rating: 3 out of 10.
