Earlier this year, thanks to IDW Publishing, the Doctor returned to
American comics in the "Doctor Who" miniseries and this August will
begin his second miniseries, "Doctor Who: The Forgotten," by Tony Lee
and Pia Guerra ("Y: The Last Man").

More under the cut.



In the popular Doctor Who novel "The Eight Doctors," writer Terrance
Dick, of whom Tony Lee is a great fan, re-visited previous
incarnations of the Doctor in the midst of adventures from the
original series. In IDW's "Doctor Who: The Forgotten," Lee decided to
take the alternate route and create all new adventures for the classic
Doctors. "Although it's always nice to revisit old friends," Lee told
CBR News, "I think we can give more 'forgotten tales' in these short
flashbacks. We have the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan meeting
Egyptians; we have the Second, Jamie and Zoe meeting space lizards;
the Third, Jo and The Brigadier (and pretty much most of the UNIT
regulars) defeating aliens on Dartmoor; the Fourth and Romana (two) in
millennium Paris; the Fifth, Tegan and Turlough facing a more recent
addition in a Village cricket match; the Sixth and Peri in a
courtroom; the Seventh and Ace in an alien war torn city; the Eighth
alone in a Count of Monte Cristo setting; and the Ninth and Rose in
the trenches of World War I. And every single one of them has been an
utter joy to write.

"Oh and of course we have the Tenth and Martha," Lee added, "in a
strange museum being hassled by gun happy waxworks, giant familiar
spiders, robots and a mysterious and familiar bearded man."
