Doctor Who #10 keeps Marvel’s TARDIS postal service buzzing, delivering UK Doctor Who Weekly stories to U.S. fans with Dave Gibbons’ art so slick it could outshine a Silurian’s scales. (That’s Watchmen Dave, still doodling Time Lords like a sci-fi superstar!)
Stockbridge in The Tides of Time is Doctor Who’s favorite village for timey-wimey tomfoolery, like if Camelot got a sci-fi facelift and a paradox problem.
The Shape Shifter feels like a love letter to classic Who foes like the Zygons, but with a vibe that’s twistier than the Doctor’s scarf in a washing machine.

Inspiration: Steve Parkhouse’s The Tides of Time is like a cosmic jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing, blending Stockbridge coziness with time-bending lunacy. It’s what you get when you ask, “What if the Doctor had to fix a clock that’s throwing a galactic hissy fit?”
Artistic Flair: Dave Gibbons’ art in The Tides of Time makes Stockbridge feel like your uncle’s quiet hamlet—until the time rifts turn it into a cosmic bouncy castle. In The Shape Shifter, his morphing alien visuals are wilder than a Slitheen’s wardrobe. Hunt for sneaky TARDIS doodles in the margins for a cheeky giggle!

Snag the original UK stories in Doctor Who Magazine archives for more Stockbridge chaos and shape-shifting silliness.
