Stripped for Action: The First Doctor

About This Movie

Stripped for Action: The First Doctor dives into the lesser-known comic strip escapades of the First Doctor, and it’s an interesting watch for those who appreciate the broader universe of Doctor Who. You’ll find interviews with artists and historians that give a real depth to the discussion—like Bill Mevin sharing insights from the artistic side and Jeremy Bentham and John Ainsworth offering context around the stories. The pacing is steady, allowing for a thorough exploration of themes like adventure and nostalgia. It’s distinct because it brings a unique perspective on a character that fans often associate only with the television series, combining visual elements with a deep dive into storytelling techniques from the comics.
