John Stokes

John Stokes is a comics artist who drew several DWM backup comic stories in the early 1980s. Many years later he would return to draw In-Between Times for Titan Publishing Group, which was the final Doctor Who work of Paul Cornell.

Stokes' origins as an artist and illustrator actually go all the way back to the 1960's, mostly working for drawing characters like Maxwell Hawke, Fishboy and Marney The Fox.

After Doctor Who Monthly, Stokes worked on Star Wars comics, Time Bandits and for 2000AD. In the 1990's he provided inking on Grant Morrison's The Invisibles and even released a graphic novel adaptation of Great Expectations in 2008.

In more recent years Stokes has moved into theatre design and started working for the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich. Whilst there he was involved in illustrating a large March Hare art sculpture in the style of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland books.
