By John Freeman on December 9, 2021

Candy Jar Books is to publish Timeslides: The Doctor Who Artwork of Colin Howard, a collection the artist’s work spanning over three decades of a busy career.

Colin’s art graced the covers of around thirty VHS releases, and for the first time ever, they’re to be collected to together. Colin has opened up his personal archive and will takes you on a tour of his Doctor Who universe.

Colin’s work has been featured in the Target novelisation range; on the covers of the Doctor Who Classic Comics, and the past Doctor and Eighth Doctor Adventures novels; in Doctor Who Magazine; and even in recent DVD and Blu-ray animations like The Evil of the Daleks.

Enjoy a collection of his work encompassing his videos and book covers, illustrations and private commissions. Featuring original sketches, unpublished designs, and a fascinating commentary, Timeslides will take you further behind the scenes than ever before.

Colin discusses the lack of reference material in a pre-internet world, achieving the high level of detail everyone expects from his stunning pieces, his ongoing battles with Multiple Sclerosis, meeting his definitive Doctor Who companion and making her a promise, and much more.

• Timeslides: The Doctor Who Artwork of Colin Howard will be released in paperback and Limited Edition Hardback formats and is available to pre-order
