Forbidden Planet has their own version of Dan Slott's Doctor Who divided into two parts, limited to 250 editions of each volume.
Article Summary
- Forbidden Planet has a limited version of Doctor Who: Once Upon A Time Lord split in two parts.
- Dan Slott's Doctor Who features the Tenth and Ninth Doctors, plus Rose and Martha.
- The comic was initially delayed, but is now scheduled around Doctor Who's 60th anniversary.
- The Forbidden Planet edition is limited to 250 copies of each volume, costing £12.99 each.
In 2021, it was announced that Dan Slott would write a series of Doctor Who one-shots from Titan Comics, his first non-Marvel work-for-hire comic book in decades. And that the first would feature the Tenth Doctor and Martha, drawn by Christopher Jones with an Adam Hughes cover of the pair. And that there would be a backup strip written by Slott and drawn by Matthew Dow Smith, which would feature the Ninth Doctor and Rose. The first one-shots were solicited for April 2022, priced at $7.99. It wasn't published. It was then solicited for 18 months later, with a hardcover with a 125% price increase at $17.99, for the 11th of October 2023. It still didn't come out. It was then delayed for the 7th of November, which is pretty damn close to the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who, especially considering it has the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, as well as Rose and Martha. And it looks like it will indeed be in shops for that date. Because MCM London Comic Con had it early. At the BBC Studios stand next to the TARDIS. £14.99 in British pounds.
And now Forbidden Planet has its own version of Doctor Who: Once Upon A Time Lord, divided into two parts, one for the Tenth Doctor and Martha cover and one for the Ninth Doctor and Rose cover. Well, it was Dan Slott's first comic book shop after all. Only 250 editions of each, which is why they cost… £12.99 each. And limited to five per customer, so that would be ten in total…
