In my opinion the Seventh Doctor Who does not get the
respect and credit he is due.
He is witty, intelligent, honorable, loyal, brave,
determined, unpredictable, formidable and to top it all off, he’s a dapper
dresser-even though he is quirky.
Many Doctor Who fans tend to look over the Seventh Doctor
and prefer the later versions.
While, in fact, if it were not for the Seventh Doctor, many of the traits and characteristics of the
Doctors that followed him would not exist-the result being the later Doctor Who’s
personas would be radically different.
Show the man some respect!
Titan Comics gives the Doctor his due with a brand new comic
book series beginning with Doctor Who The Seventh Doctor: Operation Volcano #01.
The year is 1967. The place: the Australian desert. Doctor Who and his companion Ace, along with several
other individuals, are gathered around a campfire.
Ace is determined to go through with something-the Doctor
agrees.
Switch to the year 2029. An Earth spaceship comes across
an alien spacecraft circling the Earth-undetected by any conventional scanning devices.
One of the astronauts enters the spacecraft only to
discover an Earthman, with long hair and beard, suspended in midair with what appears
to be strands of biological webbing.
The astronaut approaches and the man awakens declaring himself
to be Group Captain Gilmore.
Switch back to 1967. Two women discover strange cave
drawings while exploring.
Back in Oxford Group Captain Gilmore meets up with the
Doctor and Ace who agree to join forces with the explorers to examine a strange
craft that appeared out of nowhere.
Then things get really interesting…..
I love it-what a perfect Doctor who tale! Just like the TV series, it keeps me guessing
and wanting more.
The writing and art are spot-on and the coloring is well-balanced
and does not detract from the story. It
augments it.
For a Doctor Who story worthy of the TV show be sure to check
out this new comic book series-you won’t be disappointed.
