Artist David Roach has again provided the cover for the next Panini Doctor Who comics collection, The Clockwise War, a fantastic illustration to close off the Twelfth Doctor’s adventures in Doctor Who Magazine.
David Roach’s line art for the cover of Doctor Who – The Clockwise War
Written by by Scott Gray with art by John Ross, the story wraps many trailing threads from previous Twelfth Doctor stories into one rip-roaring, powerful adventure that includes a cameo by a young-looking War Doctor.

This collection also includes classic tales of the First, Fourth and Fifth Doctors – as played on televison by William Hartnell, Tom Baker and Peter Davison – from the long-running comic strip in the official Doctor Who Magazine and the Doctor Who Yearbooks.
With a nod to the late Steve Ditko, inked, David says, by the legendary Al Williamson, his cover includes all main characters of The Clockwise War.
• The Clockwise War goes on sale 22nd April and will be available in all good book and comic shops – pre-order it here on Amazon (affiliate link)
