REVIEW: Doctor Who: The Prison Paradox 4 The Prison Paradox concludes with some fun surprises, and a message of hope that's distinctly Doctor Who It's been a good few months for the Fifteenth Doctor, on paper at least. He's currently getting to have the Dalek confrontation in the pages of Doctor Who Magazine that fate cruelly denied him onscreen. Meanwhile, over in Titan Comics' Doctor Who title, T…

After 22 years as a letterer, I now only have enough regular lettering work to keep me busy for 2 days per week. So if you’re staffing a new project, please keep me in mind as your letterer! Or request me via your editor! Recent clients include DC, Marvel, BOOM, Dark Horse, 2000AD, etc.
Thank you 🙏🏻

R.I.P. Sal Buscema. Decade in & out, he was a storyteller of such remarkable quality that I’ve yet to hear anything but the fullest measure of praise for his work from his collaborators. Me, I discovered his work in 1970’s Avengers #72. I absolutely fell in love with it. It helped make a fan of me.

In light of recent events, I feel it's important to share some Jewish pride and joy and express how deeply meaningful it felt to get to include a Chanukah story in our EC holiday special, Shiver SuspenStories 2 #1.

REVIEW: Doctor Who: The Prison Paradox #1 The Doctor and Belinda make a prison break for the stars in Titan Comics' new lively and fun series The Fifteenth Doctor is back! Doctor Who: The Prison Paradox continues his adventures at Titan Comics, once again told by fan favourite writer Dan Watters of Batman: Dark Patterns fame. Appropriately for a Time Lord whose run was cut short on television, there's a real sense of pace and energy.

REVIEW: Doctor Who: The Prison Paradox #1 - Titan Comics' Doctor Who: The Prison Paradox provides a fun and clever new opportunity to spend time with Ncuti Gatwa's Time Lord
