IDW Publishing has launched Doctor Who Comics, which encompasses contemporary and classic adventures; first published by Marvel UK; The Iron Legion, illustrated by Dave Gibbons, is available as a free in-app download.
"We're excited to bring out DOCTOR WHO comics on the PSP, as it's a perfect comic for the game audience," stated Jeff Webber, IDW's director of ePublishing. "For Apple devices, while all of the issues are also available in our IDW Comics app for our regular readers, there are many ravenous DOCTOR WHO fans that may not be familiar with the comics. So we created a stand-alone DOCTOR WHO Comics app that lets us feature the Doctor at the top level of the app store, offering users worldwide a completely focused experience." Ed Casey, Director of Licensing, BBC Worldwide America, who brokered the deal, said: "DOCTOR WHO fans are loyal and passionate and I'm sure they'll love the fact that they can now get their favorite Time Lord in this 21st century format." Prior to this digital launch, IDW's DOCTOR WHO comics were only available in print in North America. Available to international readers for the first time, DOCTOR WHO digital series presently includes over forty issues, with more added each month. The full catalog is available for iPads and iPhones as a custom branded app, and as individual issues on the PSP.
Added Webber, "Plus, it's just awesomely fun to build an app that keeps the look and feel of something that could be a part of the TARDIS itself. It's just possible that the app might start pulling in comics from the future that haven't even been created yet!"
Doctor Who returns to both BBC One and BBC AMERICA screens on Saturday, April 23.
