Silver Scream (comic story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Silver Scream is the first two-part comic book in the Doctor Who Ongoing series by IDW Publishing scheduled for publication in North America in July 2009.
Summary
- "It’s set in 1920s Hollywood and it’s the Doctor hanging out with Charlie Chaplin. After all, Chaplin comes from London – quite close to where the Powell Estate ends up, I believe! There’s a Jimmy Olsen kind of guy called Matthew and an aspiring actress called Emily who both want to help out. And basically, they are trying to figure out the reason why a lot of actors and actresses are losing their hopes and dreams. And obviously there are also some aliens and stuff like that.
- And as we’re in the Silent Movie era of Hollywood, in the second issue, we have a massive, madcap chase where buildings are falling down on the Doctor, he’s jumping through windows and he’s hanging off clock towers – think Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, you get the idea."
