John Ridgway was the most prolific penciller and inker during the Sixth and Seventh Doctors' runs in Doctor Who Magazine. Like Mike Collins, he's one of the only people to draw all the regular DWM strips for an entire Doctor's era.
Doctor Who comics
John Ridgway was the only artist during the Sixth Doctor's regular run in DWM. In fact, only one other artist drew the Sixth Doctor in a DWM comic strip, and that was for the one-issue prelude to the Seventh Doctor story, "Emperor of the Daleks". Despite John M. Burns and Barrie Mitchell's later turn with the character in the graphic novel, The Age of Chaos, Ridgway is indelibly connected to the Sixth Doctor.
Ridgway may thus be credited with the co-creation of Frobisher, the Sixth Doctor's most enduring comic companion, as well as recurring villain Josiah W. Dogbolter. He was also responsible for most comic appearances of Peri.
Ridgway also had a reasonably long association with the Seventh Doctor as well. He was both the first and last artist to tackle that character's regular run in DWM — though Martin Geraghty handled the Seventh Doctor's actual swansong. Ridgway also contributed to the Seventh Doctor's appearances in The Incredible Hulk Presents. After the final regular appearance of McCoy's Doctor, "Uninvited Guest", he stopped contributing to DWM.
Beyond Doctor Who, Ridgway has had an extensive career with most major English language publishers.
In-universe
Technically, Ridgway is an in-universe character. As an homage to Ridgway's work with Frobisher, Dogbolter's art collection is said to include "an original John Ridgway" in BFA: The Maltese Penguin.
