In early 2008, it looks like the Doctor will be reappearing in a new US comic-book series, written by Gary Russell.

The Doctor is in.
IDW Publishing is bringing "Doctor Who," the longest-running science fiction television series in history, back to comic book shelves in early 2008.

The announcement was made today at Comic-Con International in San Diego that current TV series script editor Gary Russell will pen the series with Nick Roche ("Transformers: Devastation" and "Transformers: Beast Wars") providing artwork. "Doctor Who" showrunner Russell T Davies will oversee the book.

IDW will also begin reprinting Dave Gibbons' run on "Doctor Who Monthly" from the 1980s. Originally presented in black and white, the books will now be colored using new techniques.

Russell, who has worked in virtually every medium on Doctor Who-related projects, told CBR News while the series does not directly reflect "questions of canonicity," it will feature the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant.

"The stories involve the Doctor and Martha Jones, so it's all somewhere within the latter half of Series 3," confirmed Russell, who edited "Doctor Who Magazine" for four years before becoming the producer for the "Doctor Who" licensed audio drama tie-ins at Big Finish Productions in 1998. He stayed at Big Finish until 2006 when he left to join the staff at BBC Wales to work on both "Doctor Who" and its spin-off, "Torchwood."
