 THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR

ALICE JONES ARC

Having lost her mother to
illness and facing eviction from
her landlord, former Library
Assistant Alice Obiefune felt
like her life was falling apart.
Then she met the Doctor!
Now she’s determined to see
all the beauty and strangeness
of the universe as she travels
with him in the TARDIS!
Initially a forgettable
skiffle musician, Jones is
destined to become a rock god!
He was also Alice’s mother’s
favorite musician. He changes
his look as often as his
underwear (regularly, thank you
very much)! He’s traveling with
the Doctor in the hope it ignites
his creative spark.
A shapeshifter, dubbed
‘Autonomous Reasoning Center’
by the rogue corporate scientists
of SERVEYOUinc, ARC can shift
form into anything it chooses.
Having found its own voice, ARC
now travels with the Doctor,
enjoying the life of adventure
while searching for the truth
behind its mysterious origin...

PREVIOUSLY...
Alice first met the Doctor when she helped save London from a rainbow-colored alien dog.
The chameleonic Jones joined the crew when he snuck on board the TARDIS after a disastrous debut gig.
ARC boarded from a grim research base, where its probing attempts to communicate were terribly misunderstood.

Throughout their adventures, the malign SERVEYOUinc corporation lurked... personified by the tempting Talent Scout,
who only wants to offer you... everything! The Doctor, in a moment of weakness, gave in to the
Talent Scout’s predations... and became CEO of SERVEYOUinc. It was a disaster! Alice, Jones
and ARC saved the Doctor from himself. But can they learn to trust him again...?

that what he had suspected was true.

The Entity had no desire

to conquer. It was terrified,

to gather as large an army

Each comic series is entirely self-contained and focused on one Doctor, so you can follow one, two, or all
of your favorite Doctors, as you wish! The series are arranged in TV season-like Years, collected into roughly
three collections per Year. Feel free to start at Volume 1 of any series, or jump straight to the volumes
labelled in blue! Each book, and every comic, features a catch-up and character guide at the beginning,
making it easy to jump on board – and each comic series has a very different flavor, representative of that
Doctor’s era on screen. If in doubt, set the TARDIS Randomizer and dive in wherever you land!
