A new adventure for Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is on the way, courtesy of AUK and is funding now on Indiegogo.

Chinbeard Books, in partnership with Oak Tree Books, are publishing ‘The Smell of Death’; a brand new, full-length, graphic novel starring Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart — a.k.a. The Brigadier.

Fully licensed by the Haisman / Lincoln estates, the project is expected to be delivered in September 2024 — 35 years since the last appearance of the character in the main series, in the Seventh Doctor story ‘Battlefield’.

‘The Smell of Death’ sees The Brigadier going undercover on the set of a new horror film; one that’s being created and distributed by aliens to take over the world. To stop them, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart enlists the help of leading man actor Jon Pertwee to help him save the day.

The story is created by award-winning writer (and Doctor Who Magazine contributor) Barnaby Eaton-Jones and illustrator Miguel Guzman. It also features lettering and colouring by award-winning graphic designer Robert Hammond, whose work has appeared as part of the BBC’s Doctor Who DVD releases, and a cover by Adrian Salmon; an artist whose work will be familiar to many Doctor Who fans.
