Alister Pearson

Born on the Isle of Wight, Alister Pearson has created the covers for a large number of science fiction works including 22 out of 33 covers of the Virgin Missing Adventures, a series of Doctor Who spin-off novels, and also the covers for sixteen VHS releases of Doctor Who serials. Pearson's first two published pieces were actually among the many fan artwork illustrations which appeared in The Key to Time, a day-by-day history of the original series published to commemorate its 21st anniversary in 1985.

Pearson's first commissioned Doctor Who-related work consisted of cover illustrations for Doctor Who Magazine. He then created the cover for the Target novelisation of "The Underwater Menace." He later worked on several covers for the Missing Adventures published by Virgin in the 1990s. Most recently, he designed the cover for the Doctor Who Annual 2006 and Time's Champion.
