Titan Comics have revealed the first information on their forthcoming Twelfth Doctor range alongside the first set of stunning covers for issue #1 of the series.
The Eagle award-winning writer Robbie Morrison will be joined by New York Times bestselling artist Dave Taylor for the first issue of the ongoing series which will hit stores on October 1, the standard cover being painted by Alice X. Zhang as with both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor ranges.
Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor is available to pre-order from comic stores now but will not be available to purchase physically in the UK due to licensing restrictions (though we’re sure tech savvy Doctor Who fans will be able to find copies online). UK fans will however still be able to purchase the comic in it’s digital format.
BBC Books meanwhile have released details of the first three Twelfth Doctor novels, all of which will be released on September 11 of this year.

“Release the Doctor - or the killing will start.”
An asteroid in the furthest reaches of space - the most secure prison for the most dangerous of criminals. The Governor is responsible for the cruellest murderers.

But when the new prisoner immediately sets about trying to escape, and keeps trying, the Governor sets out to find out why.
Who is the Doctor and what’s he really doing here? And who is the young woman who comes every day to visit him, only to be turned away by the guards?

The Crawling Terror by Mike Tucker
“Well, I doubt you’ll ever see a bigger insect.”
Gabby Nichols is putting her son to bed when she hears her daughter cry out. ‘Mummy there’s a daddy longlegs in my room!’ Then the screaming starts. Kevin Alperton is on his way to school when he is attacked by a mosquito. A big one. Then things get dangerous.
But it isn’t the dead man cocooned inside a huge mass of web that worries the Doctor. It isn’t the swarming, mutated insects that make him nervous.
With the village cut off from the outside world, and the insects becoming more and more dangerous, the Doctor knows that unless he can decode the strange symbols engraved on an ancient stone circle, and unravel a mystery dating back to the Second World War, no one is safe.
