This book by @stevecolewriter.bsky.social and @paulmagrs.bsky.social reimagines #DoctorWho stories.

Not traditional “novelisation” versions; each of 22 tales offers unexpected, delightful new insights and perspectives on moments and characters from the show.

Having my son help me write the new Astrosaurs graphic novel has been a lot of fun. Those revamped dinosaurs land at a bookshop near you TODAY! (Carnage two seconds later as dog pounced not pictured)

Watching myself on video, I find the idea of swapping my body for an artificial replica that doesn't age is actually quite appealing!

It might be a print on demand copy, usually much more expensive than the original run.

I wrote a Fitz thing in this charity anthology which Steve Cole was kind enough to top off with lyrics.

This was a treat to work on. @paulmagrs.bsky.social and I looked to tell aspects of the TV stories from unusual perspectives. With @anghelides.bsky.social editing it was like Doctor Who should always be – having fun with friends old and new. I only wish I could draw like Paul! It's out Sept 18th.
