Titan Comics announced that Colin Bell and Neil Slorance, the celebrated creators of "Dungeon Fun," "Chloe Noonan," and "House Party," will lend their talent to Titan's "Doctor Who" line with a brand spankin'new series of humorous backup strips featuring the Twelfth Doctor, according to ComicBook.com.
Starting with "Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor" #2, each issue of the series will include a one-page comic from Bell and Slorance that will feature some of Clara and the Doctor's more comical capers.
"To be the men who put the words in the mouth of 'The Man Who Stops the Monsters' is an incredible honor for us both," says Bell. "We're concerned with what happens in the smaller moments between crises, when the galaxy's not being saved. Who takes the bins out? Where do they go for lunch? Neil and I hope to answer these questions; and as always, the answers await us... in time!"
Bell and Slorance's all-ages "Dungeon Fun" comic won four Scottish Independent Comic Book Awards earlier this year. They join a full lineup of "Doctor Who" backup comic creators, including Rachael Smith and Emma Price on "Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor," and Marc Ellerby on "Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor."
"As someone who loved Matt Smith's time as the Doctor, I'm over the moon to be involved with the brand new comics," said Marc Ellerby. "I'm donning my fez and raggedy blazer to help power through the drawings!"
"I'm so excited to be able to work on these strips," Rachael Smith added. "I'm having so much fun writing for the characters!"
Emma Price continued with the exuberance: "It's thrilling being able to support such a diverse and accomplished range of creators in a new era of comics adventures with the Doctor!"
"It's a delight to showcase the work of some immensely talented indie creators through the Doctor Who comics," said Doctor Who editor Andrew James. "Hopefully we're introducing our readers to a whole universe of new writers and artists, as well as offering some charming and hilarious shorts with these beloved characters."
"Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor" #2 goes on sale November 19. There's a release trailer below as well. Take a gander:
