…is exactly what the world needs more of these days, but I see that commentator Ayla was way ahead of me on this.

I hadn’t plugged Rich’s Comic blog for a bit. If you like good drawn art, fun stories and Dr. Who it is the place to be.

He is only 18 pages into his latest Dr. Who tale so you won’t have much to Catch up on.

If you want a sample of his work here is a bit from his 10 Ten Doctors with Sound added by a fan:

I recommend all of his work, just click on his comics archive and read em all.

If it was in book form it would be what I want for Christmas.

I’ll wager they will sell out in a day

At about 3:20 p.m. today my oldest son sat down to each an early supper since he had to work tonight at 5. He then told me something he had seen on the Life Dr. Who and Combom site concerning the Royal Mint coming out with Dr. who coins.

I checked out the Royal mint site and sure enough they have medals of base medal coins of the <a href=”http://www.royalmint.com/store/Medals/DRWDTBU.aspx”>10th doctor, K9 and the Daleks for £9.95 each (about $16.41 each. I also noticed that they had Silver medals of the Doctor and the Daleks at £35 ( 57.75 each) and a full Gold medal of the Doctor and the Daleks at £150 each ($247.50)

The Silver medals are limited to 5000 each and the Gold to 500. causing me to regret not having large sums of disposable income because they will turn over VERY quickly.

I gave a call to the mint and the lady there told me that they were absolutely swamped. They hadn’t even gotten the medals in the the computer system yet so all the orders were on paper. I picked up 2 each of the base metal ones and one each of the silver. Can’t afford the gold which is a shame because I don’t think they will last past tomorrow if even.

Like the 1st year issue quarter sovereigns if I was working I would have picked up a few to sit on but I can’t justify the expense without work and don’t want to teach my kids speculation when money is tight.

If you want some for yourselves I wouldn’t wait for the day to end.

Dr. Who The Mahogany Murderers: Amazon Review

My Review of the Companion Chronicles 3.11 Mahogany Murderers featuring the Characters Henry Gordan Jago and Professor Lightfoot from the Classic Dr. Who Episode The Talons of Weng-Chiang is available at Amazon.com here.

It is the single best Companion Chronicles episode available thus far, it is also also unique in two other ways:

To this point it is the only Companion chronicles adventure with three credited actors. Director Lisa (otherwise known as Dr. Bernice Summerfield) plays the waitress.

It is the only Companion Chronicles that doesn’t feature the Doctor.

If you have never seen Talons of Weng-Chiang you will enjoy the episode but not as much, if at all possible watch the episode directly before listening to this episode and you will really have a spectacular time.

It goes without saying that this one should be bought.

My review of the 8th Doctor Big finish adventure 3.7 The Eight Truths staring Paul McGann as the Doctor and Sheridan Smith as Lucie Miller is available at Amazon.com here.

All you really need to know about this episode is that it was written by Eddie Robson he has written quite a few of them and with only one exception they are among the best stories ever written for Big Finish.

This one qualifies as a must buy. So make sure you get that order e-mail to Mike’s comics ASAP.
