COVENTRY BASED comic book artist Al Davison has been drawing issues of the Dr Who comic book series published by IDW in America.

An exhibition of Al's art from the Dr Who comics he has worked on is running at the Lock Gallery until 3rd October.

The creator is also responsible for Trinity, a new film that is premiering as part of A Thing About Machines. This is an electronic arts festival, dedicated to Delia Derbyshire who composed the Doctor Who theme tune. It takes place at The Tin Angel in Coventry where several other films by local film-makers will also be screened.

The Birmingham Mail's sister newspaper, The Coventry Telegraph , ran a feature on Davison, and an internet link for it can still be found at: www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/2009/05/25/artist-al-davison-chosen-for-new-doctor-who-comic-book-92746-23701845/2/

Speech Balloons intends to feature an interview with the comic book creator in the future.

BIRMINGHAM BASED writer Tony Lee is the man behind a new ongoing series based on the popular BBC TV series for American comics publisher IDW.

Tony was the writer of last year's Dr Who: The Forgotten maxi-series, also published by IDW, and has similarly contributed to Britain's Dr Who Magazine.

While intended as an ongoing series, it is believed various artists will be drawing individual story arcs.

Coventry based Al Davison is pencilled in as the series' debut artist, with the likes of Paul Grist scheduled to follow.

The writer also has a graphic novel collection of his Eagle Award-nominated Hope Falls series. Co-created with artist Dan Boultwood, and again to be published by Markosia, it is due in May and will feature an introduction by Ben Templesmith. If ordering through Diamond Distributors, your favourite comics emporium needs to ask for MAR094036: HOPE FALLS TP.
