The Phantom Piper stars the Twelfth Doctor (played on TV by Peter Capaldi) and his companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie). The Doctor and Bill are plunged into four incredible adventures...

The SOUL GARDEN

The Doctor and Bill land on Saturn's Moon and encounter the crazy quadrillionaire Rudy Zoom, classical poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge and deadly plant creatures called the Haluu!

The PARLIAMENT Of FEAR

A journey to America's Wild West leads the Doctor and Bill into a lethal showdown with a myth come to life: the legendary were-owls known as the Stikini!

MATILDUS

Bill finds herself in the alleyways of the spaceport Cornucopia, and meets the streetwise Kaballus Kids!

The PHANTOM PIPER

The time-travellers arrive in the lunar city Athenia, home to the world-famous code-breaker Alan Turning and a race of androids called the Galateans. But a malevolent creature from humanity's darkest dreams is ready to strike... the Phantom Piper!

Stories and art by Scott Gray, Martin Geraghty, Staz Johnson and Mike Collins!

Kid said...: Marvel/Panini supply me with the images and info, CJ, so I wouldn't decline to advertise any JW graphic novels for those who wish to read them. Doesn't mean that I have to read them though. I'm sure the strips would be of the usual standard, but I'm not a fan of what the BBC have done to the character.; 4 December 2018 at 14:27

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artist on various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artist and spot illustrator on pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

For MARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as a restoration artist for MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.

Have also made TV appearances as a collector of memorabilia.
