Titan Comics y va par ordre décroissant ! Le prochain Docteur à bénéficier d’une mini-série après le neuvième sera le… Huitième Docteur !
La série a été confiée à George Mann, un fin connaisseur de l’histoire du Seigneur du Temps qui a déjà écrit deux romans (Paradox Lost, Engines of War) sur le personnage; et la dessinatrice Emma Vieceli.
Le huitième Docteur est un cas spécial dans la mythologie de Doctor Who. Il fut interprété par Paul McGann dans le téléfilm de 1996 qui aurait dû relancer la série sur le Seigneur du Temps, la première initiative depuis l’arrêt du show en 1989. Malheureusement (ou heureusement, considérant l’avenir de la série - Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey), le film fut un échec retentissant, marquant de son emprunte l’acteur: l’homme qui ne joua le Docteur qu’une seule et unique fois.
A part quelques aventures audio, l’histoire aurait pu en rester là si Steven Moffat n’avait pas eu la judicieuse idée de faire appel à McGann pour lancer The Day of the Doctor, épisode fêtant le 50ème anniversaire du Docteur. Dans un court prologue, on le voyait (enfin) se régénérer en sa future incarnation, le bien nommé Docteur de la guerre, après avoir officialisé ses aventures radiophoniques en citant les noms de ses nombreux compagnons.
C’est également l’un des Docteurs qui a connu le plus d’aventures en comics dans le Dr Who Magazine, entre 1996 et 2005. C’est d’ailleurs lui qui a inauguré le passage du strip du Docteur du N&B à la couleur…
