We all know Oli Smith for his comics creations, his fascinating (and often inventive) videos and the great public profile he’s given to the UK small press comics scene with his work with London Underground Comics. Now he’s joining the world of Doctor Who – the prologue for his Doctor Who story, Blue Moon, went live on the official BBC Who site this afternoon, with more parts to follow tomorrow, Friday and then the last part on Monday. And so far not a sight or sign of “a wheezing, groaning sound”! The story is set during the Apollo 11 Moon landing mission. On his blog Oli points out Blue Moon is actually his second Who story – he also has Total Eclipse of the Heart in this year’s Doctor Who Storybook whch should be out in August.

You’ll get your “wheezing, groaning” fix Joe, don’t you worry!
