Auction site eBay seems to awash with original Doctor Who comic art at the moment, with plenty of examples from different eras on offer.
Check out the Ice Warriors in dramatic action in this item for example, the third part of “Descendance”, the second Radio Times “Doctor Who” strip starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, written by Gary Russell with art by Lee Sullivan, lettered by Elitta Fell. The strip was coloured by Alan Craddock.
The same seller has other items, too, including a gorgeous page of the Doctor Who Magazine story “Time and Tide” starring the Seventh Doctor, with early art by superstar artist Doug Braithwaite.
The page on offer was first published in Issue 145 in 1989, from the first part of a two-episode story, written by “Richard Alan” (Richard Starkings) and John Carnell, inked by Dave Elliott, and lettered by Tom Orzechowski.
The strip was republished in the now hard-to find collection, Doctor Who – A Cold Day in Hell.
Needless to say, the pages on sale are going fast, so if you fancy grabbing an example of Doctor Who art by the likes of Mike Collins, John Ridgway, Lee Sullivan and others, you’d best be quick.
