Doctor Who in TV Action!


This was a present for a friend of mine. He's a big fan of the 1970s comic Countdown, which featured the third Doctor in stunning, fully painted action in every issue. I haven't quite managed to replicate that look (or the quality of the art therein - it really was beautiful stuff), but I've had a decent stab at it. And I really enjoyed drawing Pertwee.

More importantly, my pal *loved* it. Job done!

That's bloody stunning - no other words for it! I loved the Hellboy/Ghostie piece - but this hits even closer to home. Your pal is a lucky bloke!

A simply gorgeous piece of comic book art, perfectly capturing the look and style of Countdown. Would look wonderful framed and on the wall!

Hi Dan,
just a speculative question regarding the Manus Maleficus: was it just a machine shaped like a hand, or was it a part of something bigger...?
Food for thought,
