An incarnation of the Doctor foiled the Master's schemes, and found a new companion, at an American amusement park.
Physical appearance
The Doctor had a bushy brown beard, unruly hair of the same colour, and small, dark eyes. He wore high boots in which he tucked his yellow trousers and a slightly darker jacket veering towards orange, rimmed with red along the lapels, not dissimilar to the Fifth Doctor's. Underneath it was a tartan shirt and a large ascot emblazoned with question marks. He also carried a cane. (NOTVALID: Winning Designs)
Biography
The Doctor visited an amusement park in America where he met and befriended Maggie, an eccentric woman who worked a fortune-telling booth in the park.
Together, they discovered that the engineer behind a new space ride that was being built was none other than the Master, who had designed the machinery such that it would act as a teleporter to bring a large alien workforce to Earth; these allies of the Master's would then build a machine capable of destroying the Earth, but also, unbeknownst to them, their own planet.
Maggie subsequently became the Doctor's companion. (NOTVALID: Winning Designs)
Behind the scenes
This Doctor was designed and written as if popular actor Brian Blessed was to play the part, a casting suggested as the winning entry of the Doctor Who Casting Competition in DWM 108, a proposal submitted by Scott Sauber. His costume and story were designed by Wanda Sue Morain and Mike Acord as the winning entry of a follow-up contest, the Doctor Who Design Competition, with the text and professional-grade illustrations of Winning Designs being the ultimate result.
As Winning Designs does not constitute a story in its own right, it is not considered valid by this Wiki, and as such, neither is the existence of this Doctor. It is worth nothing, however, that a Doctor with a bushy brown beard was later introduced by the Doctor Who Magazine in a narrative work, An Army of Shadows, four years down the line. The depiction of that unnumbered incarnation of the Doctor did resemble Brian Blessed, but did not return the unique costume of the Winning Designs incarnation.
