This June 2018, BBC Worldwide Americas and Titan Comics will bring the Seventh Doctor back in comics! This brand-new, three-part comic series stars the Seventh Doctor, as played by Sylvester McCoy, alongside classic companion Ace (Sophie Aldred).

Hitting stores and digital platforms in June with a double-sized first issue, Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor #1, is written by Seventh Doctor script editor and showrunner Andrew Cartmel, and writer Ben Aaronovitch (Rivers of London).

Actor Sylvester McCoy starred as the Seventh Doctor from 1987 to 1989 anchoring hundreds of novels and comic strips before regenerating in the 1996 TV movie. As well as this new comic, the Seventh Doctor’s era lives on in a successful series of audio adventures from Big Finish. McCoy’s portrayal as the Doctor was, at first, a light-hearted eccentric who darkened into a secretive, mysterious, and cunning planner across the course of his tenure.  

In Titan Comics’ new miniseries, an unknown alien intelligence is in orbit around the Earth. There are astronauts under attack, a terrifying, mysterious landing in the Australian interior, the future of the world itself is at stake, and Counter Measures activated. The Seventh Doctor and Ace are slap bang in the middle of it all! This is Operation Volcano!

Ben Aaronovitch and Andrew Cartmel return to the TARDIS, on the 30th anniversary of the popular episode “Remembrance of the Daleks” with The Seventh Doctor comics, and are joined by illustrator Christopher Jones (The Third Doctor) and colorist Marco Lesko (The Ninth Doctor) to bring astonishing twists and turns to the lives of the Seventh Doctor, and his companions, with Titan’s new comic series. 

The debut issue comes with four variant covers to collect: three art covers by artists Alice X. Zhang, Simon Myers, and Christopher Jones, and a photo cover by Will Brooks. The Seventh Doctor will also materialize with a back-up strip written by Twelfth Doctor scribe Richard Dinnick, with art by Jessica Martin (Doctor Who: The Greatest Show In The Galaxy). 

Retailers can order Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor #1 from the April edition of Diamond PREVIEWS. This all-new storyline in the world of a classic will delight longtime fans and freshly converted Whovians alike.
