About the author
Tony Lee
517 books47 followersA New York Times Best-selling Graphic Novelist, Tony Lee was born in West London, UK in 1970. Informed by a teacher that he had a comic book style of writing, (a comment meant more as an insult), Tony decided that one day he would write for comics.
Tony has written for a variety of mediums including Radio 4, The BBC, commerical television in both the UK and US, magazines and both local and national newspapers. He has also written several award winning local radio campaigns. In 1991 he wrote for a small press comics publisher, of which only one project, The Cost of Miracles in Comic Speculator News was ever printed, and remains his first printed commercial comic work.
Moving away from comics, he went back into trade journalism and media marketing/creation. His small press magazine Burnt Offerings was a minor seller on both sides of the Atlantic, and was the first esoteric magazine to interview mainstream creators like Terry Pratchett and Pat Mills.
Since returning to comics in 2002, he has written for a variety of publishers including Marvel Comics, DC Comics/Zuda, Games Workshop, Panini Comics, Titan Publishing, AAM/Markosia Enterprises, Rebellion/2000ad and IDW Publishing amongst others, writing a variety of creator owned titles and licenses that include X-Men, Spider Man, Doctor Who, Starship Troopers, Wallace & Gromit and Shrek.
He is the writer of the ongoing Doctor Who series of comics from IDW, beginning in July 2009, and his award nominated, creator-owned miniseries Hope Falls was collected by AAM/Markosia in May 2009. His next book with them, From The Pages Of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula': Harker, was released in November 2009 to critical acclaim.
Added to this, Tony adapted Pride & Prejudice & Zombies into a graphic novel for Del Rey Publishing, with art by Cliff Richards - this was a New York Times #1 Bestselling Paperback Graphic Novel for May 2010 - he is also adapting Anthony Horowitz's Power of Five series into graphic format for Walker Books, the first - Raven's Gate is due out in late 2010, and he has adapted four Horowitz Horror books with Dan Boultwood for Hachette Children's Books.
His other book with Walker Books, Outlaw: The Legend Of Robin Hood (drawn by Sam Hart) was released in 2009 and has already been awarded a Junior Library Guild: Fall 2009 Selection, and 'best for 2010' awards from both the American Library Association and the New York Public Library in the USA, among others. In March 2010 it was announced that it was also a finalist for the Children's Choice Book Awards. The next in the 'Heroes & Heroines' series, Excalibur: The Legend Of King Arthur by Tony Lee & Sam Hart is scheduled for March 2011.
Outside of comics he is writing several books for children.
Tony is represented by Julian Friedmann of the Blake Friedmann Literary, TV and Film Agency.
Tony is also an accomplished Bard and performer, and has held the High Bard chair of the East Sussex Broomstick Rally on several occasions. His lecture Creating Gods for fun and Profit and his series of lectures on Bards and Ritual Magic were received to critical acclaim, and he still lectures occasionally in London, the Midlands and Sussex. As a Covent Garden Street Performer in the 90's, he performed 'The Scarlet Blade' Street Theatre show at the Edinburgh Festival and at locations across the UK, convincing members of the public to act out an insane pantomime for his amusement.
Added to this Tony is an accomplished storyteller and lecturer on writing, and has performed at libraries, events and schools around the world including the 2009 Edinburgh International Book Festival, a 2009 tour of India for the British Council, and in 2003 around the Wadi Rum bedouin campfire in Jordan.
Tony currently lives in London with his fiancée, Tracy.

Nice to see the Doctor on various adventures with various companions.

Fun stories and very entertaining. A couple of the shorter one-off trips were quite good, but over-all there was nothing that really stood out to make the collection particularly remarkable.

A collection of single-issue adventures starring the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) and his companions Martha Jones and Donna Noble, followed by a longer tale in which the Time Lord is put on trial by the Shadow Proclamation and comes face to face with various old foes.
My, admittedly limited at this point, experience of Doctor Who comics has largely left me underwhelmed (with notable exceptions, mind you), so I was expecting more of the shallow, disposable adventures I've come to expect.
Actually, what I got was a really enjoyable collection of stories which not only capture the spirit of New Who brilliantly, but which also clearly have huge affection for the Classic era of the series too.
There were two stand-out moments in this book for me, both of which were written by Tony Lee.
In the story 'The Time Machination' we see the Doctor enlist the help of old friend H. G. Wells in fending off the Victorian era Torchwood team. I love Victoriana Who stories (the Doctor makes a meta comment on how often he seems to end up in Victorian London), so combining it with the visionary SF author and Torchwood in their 'the Doctor is an enemy of the Empire!' phase was just perfect.
The other bit of this book I loved was the second-half of 'Fugitive', which sees the Doctor arrested by the Shadow Proclamation. His prosecutor is none other than Mister Finch (the Krillitane so perfectly played by Tony Head on TV), a brilliant villain who was due a comeback, and he is forced into an uneasy alliance with a Draconian, a Sontaran and an Ogron to take on the Proclamation's Judoon enforcers. It's an exciting and twisty story that beautifully mixes old and new Who lore.

2.5-3 stars.
This was a mixed bag for me - the artwork was hit or miss for most of the stories, as were the stories themselves.
And then there were the sexist comments throughout, and the racist comment about women in burqas that I was not at all okay with.
TW for sexism, a racist comment, death, murder, slavery, mentions of plague, false imprisonment, attempted murder.

Whispering Gallery, Silver Scream, and Black Death White Life were 4 stars. Both Whispering Gallery and Silver Scream would be fun tv episodes. I did not enjoy Cold Blooded War! The rest of the stories were adequate but nothing memorable.

The shorter stories at the front of this collection are alright, but the larger story at the end ("Fugitive") was riveting. It's excellent suff - so much so that I can't rate the book any lower than this!

Good collection with decent old and new series continuity

I've read these stories before and decided to revisit them. Some of them are good, but WOW the art is not my cup of tea in lots of places.

…and now i’m off to watch The End of Time!
a mixed bag of short comics featuring Doctor 10 with a wonderful sneak reference to ‘he knocks’.

I was so happy to see Donna! Can't wait to finish the fugitive.

Probably a 3.5- there’s a reference to burqas which I wasn’t sure if it was making a joke or referencing how trapping they are. However, out for the five stories I only really enjoyed 2

The first half is a bunch of solid one off stories with the tenth Doctor. Where this gets cooking though is the back half. It's an ongoing story where the Doctor is put on trial by the Shadow Proclamation for interfering with history. It brings in a ton of races and plots from the TV show and mixes it up wonderfully. Looking forward to reading the rest of this in volume 3.
July 18, 2019
This description is actually for Vol 3. Here's what's actually in this volume:
"The second stunning volume of the Tenth Doctor Archives collects six thrilling one-shots ('Through Time and Space'), and the first arc of the Tenth Doctor's debut ongoing series ('Fugitive'). Travel with the Doctor's beloved companions Martha, Donna and a whole new gang in a bumper collection of transtemporal adventure!"
I much preferred the one-shots over the ongoing series. But I'm a completest so I will read the third volume.

This collection of Doctor Who stories is a fair spread of different Tenth Doctor style stories with his usual flair for quirky solutions together with different companions. Some were interesting standalone pieces while others were multi-issue mini-adventures that were quite compelling. Things really came together with the last story with the Doctor as a fugitive, which now feels slightly reminiscent of the ongoing Doctor Who story.

Another excellent selection of Doctor Who comic strips. Remarkably free from continuity references until the last story which really goes for it!

Decent collection with some good bridging between old and new series.
