DR. FIRST (DOCTOR WHO / ROGER HARGREAVES)

Adam Hargreaves

An all-new Doctor Who adventure featuring the First Doctor and the Cybermen reimagined in the style of Roger Hargreaves.
Meet Dr. First. He is in a bad mood because he can’t find his granddaughter. However, that soon becomes the least of his problems when he stumbles upon an old foe.

These storybook mash-ups, written and illustrated by Adam Hargreaves, combine the iconic storytelling of Doctor Who with the whimsical humor and design made famous by his father, Roger Hargreaves.

Dr. First kicks off this series of witty and tongue-in-cheek storybooks—each featuring one of the twelve Doctors.

Adam Hargreaves is an English author and illustrator. The son of Roger Hargreaves, he continues his father's popular Mr. Men and Little Miss series of children's books.

Roger Hargreaves is best remembered as the creator, author and illustrator of the Mr. Men and Little Miss series of books as well as Albert the Alphabetical Elephant, Count Worm, and Grandfather Clock.

There are a ton of familiar faces as you read through each Doctor’s story. I was most excited to see River Song but you’ll also see familiar baddies such as the Cybermen, Daleks, Silurians and Weeping Angels. And each Doctor is illustrated with their signature accessories (and they totally nailed Twelve’s angry eyebrows).
