The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane, memorably portrayed by Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen, join Titan's stable of Doctor Who comics this spring.
Nice! I’m surprised it’s taken this long, considering the comics are produced for the US market and the Fourth Doctor had the most pop-culture impact there thanks to his presence on PBS. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve read accounts of Americans getting into modern Who where they hadn’t previously been aware of the concept of regeneration and had thought Tom Baker was the only Doctor in the original run.
I’d actually quite like to see a series based on The Sarah Jane Adventures; personally, I’m much more interested in the notion of contemporary stories rather than those set during the history of a series/character. I’ve enjoyed comics like Dark Horse’s continuation of the Buffy universe and while Big Finish are now producing audio dramas incorporating the likes of UNIT and the Paternoster Gang, this obviously wouldn’t be possible for SJA while a Buffy-style route could work. If Russel T Davies could be involved in a similar way to Whedon with the Buffy books, giving it an additional level of legitimacy, all the better. I’d certainly be more excited about that than I am about the forthcoming solo K-9 movie…!
