Celebrate all things Doctor Who at Forbidden Planet later this month, when Rob Williams and Al Ewing sign the store’s exclusive Variant Cover of Doctor Who 11th #1 in Bristol on 26th July from 3 – 4pm. (yes, we know – yet another variant!)

They will be joined in London on 2nd August by Variant Cover artist Des Taylor to sign both Doctor Who 10th #1 and Doctor Who 11th #1, also from 3 – 4.00pm.

In the Tenth Doctor’s adventure, Gabriella Gonzalez is stuck in a dead-end job in her family’s New York laundrette, dreaming of college and bigger, better, and brighter things.

So when a strange man with an even stranger big blue box barges into her life on the eve of the Day of the Dead celebrations, talking about an infestation of psychic aliens, she seizes her chance for adventure with both hands. After Donna’s tragic exit, the Doctor thought he was done with companions.

But Gabby Gonzalez is going to prove him wrong – if she survives the night!

And the Eleventh Doctor brings us a whole new story – an all-new ongoing series, with a time-twisting leap into the unknown!

Alice Obiefune has just lost her mother when the Doctor explodes into her life. But what does a grieving young woman have to do with the career of a 1970s musician, an amnesiac alien time traveler, and a terrifying cosmic threat? In the wake of the second Big Bang, discover what the Doctor gets up to when Amy and Rory aren’t around…

Plus, every issue includes a “Titans” strip and a brand-new humour strip.
