The Ninth Doctor: DWM Christopher Eccleston sheet

Fantastic!

Purchased directly from artist and who story-boarder Mike Collins at the LA convention Gallifrey 1 2020. As Mike explained, these sheets were done as tryouts for the Doctor Magazine comic strip when the show returned in 2005, for both the approval of the strips editors but also, importantly, for the show's stars.

Chris, Mike says, hated the first version, since he thought that it made him look 'too pretty'. Mike was sent away to this version with instructions to give Chris bigger ears, chin and nose! The rejected sheet is here as an additional image, complete with Chris' signature and notes!
