One of these days...

I have to find the time/resources to read some Doctor Who comics, because they appear to be the maddest things ever produced. There's Frobisher, obviously, and the terrifying Beep the Meep, but I've just discovered that in Eleven's comics he apparently travels with a giant robotic T-Rex named Kevin.

This makes me happy inside.

Wow!

Obviously, I need these comics in my life!

I know right? Unfortunately they are expensive and difficult to find. But one day... I can dream right?

Library maybe? Now I know I can check out DW graphic novels & comics here if I want to. :P (Maybe I will for A.) Plus, no DW comics listed but this storefront (I've as yet not been inside) looks interesting (whenever I go past it): http://www.strangeadventures.com/ (F'ton is *such* a geeky/artsy city-town.)

That article is just too hilarious.

I briefly considered but never got around to reading any DW comics because they are expensive and then I got sucked into reading so many other comics. But they sound pretty great.

I don't know if I ever will get around to reading them (because as you note, EXPENSIVE!) but just knowing that these things exist fills me with glee.

There was that utterly weird one where a wildly OOC Romana goes on holiday and comes back to find Four and K-9 on the floor with their tongues out. I think I've repressed the rest.

Kevin the Dinosaur would be a great replacement for River Song, methinks.

It's funny to hear about these as something rare - I have two very, very large piles of old DWMs, comic strip included in my cupboard. (Seriously, I stopped as of autumn last year and started in sept 1991! It was post-Frobisher, though and pre-Kevin, though, sorry. Also I recycled some of the early ones and gave some away, I think. But I have most of things within that.)

If there are any comic strips within that framework you would like me to scan in or send to you or something, let me know & we'll try and work something out. I keep thinking I should sell the mags, but I can never quite manage to sort my Paypal out or put them on Ebay, so why not?)

The best part: "He allows Rory to use him as a mount in combat." Now there's an image to mull over. ;) I'm not really very well up on the more recent Who comics, but I did read a lot of the DWM strips in my misspent youth (don't actually have most of them anymore, though :() and they have the similar pleasing sort of off-the-wall quality. My favourite was this dimly-remembered one where Six and Peri (and Frobisher) got drawn into this Seven Samurai-like coalition of badasses to fight some unimaginable alien threat frommadawnatime. Had a cool Draconian ninja bloke in it and everything. And Frobisher! ;D

You and me both. I've always been a fan of Forbisher... the amazing alien penguin, but I do love Kevin since I first read about him. :)
