It seems impossible to believe but it has been a decade sinceDoctor Whoreturned to TV screens back in 2005.
In a way though, Nines adventures are continuing.
The reason this comic succeeds so perfectly is the writing of Cavan Scott and the art of Blair Shedd.
We recently had a chance to interview him about bringing the Ninth Doctor back to life.
Weapons from the Time War.
How did you get involved in this project?
I was working on TitansAdventure Timetitle and made inquiries when they won theDoctor Wholicense.
I met up withDoctor Whoeditor Andrew James and he asked me which Doctor I would like to write for.
I immediately jumped in with the Ninth and it went from there.
Id enjoyed writing for the Ninth so much then, that I couldnt wait to get back to him.
Will the Ninth Doc crossover with any other Doctors?
Not in this series, but you never know who might pop up if you keep your eyes open.
Oh, you dont know how wonderful it is to be able to actually show things.
Actually, writingJudge Dreddon audio was brilliant as he announces everything he does.
Might Iris Wyldthyme appear in these comics?
But Id love to read an Iris comic by her creator, Paul Magrs!
Its all very easy to go mad and poor old Blair Shedd the artist has to draw it all!
They just wouldnt have been possible on the TV so its fun seeing what we can do with them.
What has been the toughest challenge in creating the series so far?
He has such a distinct way of talking, so unique.
I hope it comes across on the page.
Is there anything else youd like to tell readers about the Ninth Doctors upcoming adventures?
Only that its been fantastic working with Blair.
And I love how much detail he puts into each panel.
The first issue ofDoctor Who: The Ninth Doctor: Weapons Of Past Destructionis available now.
