Doctor Who: Black Death/White Life
If you’ve seen IDW’s solicitations for September, you may have seen a one-shot entitled “Doctor Who: Black Death/White Life”. If you did see that you may have noticed that I wrote it. This is my first writing gig and its on Doctor Who, if you know me then you know how big this is for me.
This issue also made it onto Preview’s “Certified Cool” list.
Since I’m not a well known writer IDW wanted a few big names on the issue and they asked me if I had anyone in mind. Since Guy Davis is a friend of mine he offered to do the cover back when I pitched this so I made him fulfill that promise (which he did beyond my expectations). For the interiors I immediately thought of Tom Mandrake who I had worked with on Zombie Prom and the cover of the Safest Place OGN. He agreed to do it because he thought it was fun so this issue is going to look amazing. I’ll of course be providing the colors to it as well.
Here is the actual solicitation for those of you wanting to know what its about:
DOCTOR WHO: BLACK DEATH / WHITE LIFE
Written by Charlie Kirchoff, art by Tom Mandrake, covers by Guy Davis and photo.
After the Doctor and his companion Martha mistakenly land the TARDIS during the Great Plague of London, the discovery of a healer draws them into a mystery that could mean the end of Martha!
32 pages, $3.99.
Since this is my first writing gig I really would like this to do just as well as the rest of the one-shots that have been coming out. So I really hope that you pick this up. If you like Doctor Who or comic books, I think this will be a good buy.
