'''Martin Geraghty''' is an exceptionally prolific [[penciller]] in the pages of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', active since 1994. He can also claim to be its most versatile artist, since he's drawn non-parodic stories featuring eight different incarnations of [[the Doctor]] and well over fifteen [[companion]]s. Only [[Mike Collins]] rivals him for the crown of "most Doctors featured in proper, non-parodic stories" — but Collins has only drawn stories featuring the [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]] through the [[Eleventh Doctor]]s.

== Drawing unusual combinations ==
Because he began his career with DWM at a time when the magazine was featuring comic strips of past Doctors, his portfolio includes serious, non-parodic interpretations of [[the TARDIS|TARDIS]] crews that were rarely seen in comics. He's one of the few artists to depict the [[First Doctor]] and [[Susan Foreman|Susan]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Operation Proteus (comic story)|Operation Proteus]]'') the [[Second Doctor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] and [[Victoria Waterfield|Victoria]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bringer of Darkness (comic story)|Bringer of Darkness]]'') the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Sarah Jane]] and [[Harry Sullivan|Harry]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Black Destiny (comic story)|Black Destiny]]'') the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Curse of the Scarab (comic story)|The Curse of the Scarab]]'') the Fifth Doctor, [[Turlough]] and [[Tegan]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lunar Strangers (comic story)|The Lunar Strangers]]'') and the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Melanie Bush|Mel]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Plastic Millenium (comic story)|Plastic Millenium]]'')

In each of these cases, he was the first artist to portray in comics the particular TARDIS crew in question. Indeed, he handled the comic ''debuts'' of Mel and Susan. He was the first person to use Harry, Victoria, Turlough, and Tegan outside of annuals or parodic comics.

== Eighth Doctor ==
Geraghty became practically the house artist during the [[Eighth Doctor comic stories|Eighth Doctor's run]]. Beginning in earnest with the last of the more-or-less regular [[Seventh Doctor]] stories, in which [[Ace]] controversially died, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ground Zero (comic story)|Ground Zero]]'') Geraghty was in place for the vast majority of Eighth Doctor stories. He was the first artist since [[Dave Gibbons]] to completely dominate a Doctor's era in the pages of DWM, and, indeed, the first to do a Doctor's first and last strips.

== The BBC Wales Doctors ==
''Doctor Who Magazine'' chose to go with [[Mike Collins]] as their principal artist during the "[[Rose Tyler]] run", but Geraghty returned with a vengeance for the story immediately after Rose departed from the pages of DWM. His first story back, ''[[The Warkeeper's Crown (comic story)|The Warkeeper's Crown]]'', gave him the unique opportunity of depicting an encounter between the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[the Brigadier]]. It was the first time that an older, post-[[Third Doctor]] (and almost certainly post-''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'') Brigadier had been seen in comics, DWM or otherwise. He went on to draw ''[[The First (comic story)|The First]]'', ''[[The Widow's Curse (comic story)|The Widow's Curse]]'', and the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s final story, ''[[The Crimson Hand (comic story)|The Crimson Hand]]''. As of early 2011, his only contribution to the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s run is ''[[The Golden Ones]]''. In 2016, he drew the [[Twelfth Doctor]] stories ''[[Witch Hunt (comic story)|Witch Hunt]]'' and ''[[The Stockbridge Showdown (comic story)|The Stockbridge Showdown]]'' (with art by [[Dave Gibbons]], [[Roger Langridge]], [[Adrian Salmon]], [[Dan McDaid]], [[John Ross]], [[Mike Collins]], [[John Ridgway]] and [[David A Roach]]).

== Not really an inker ==
Geraghty was, in a sense, the first of the modern pencillers for DWM. As technology improved in the comics industry, and inking has become a more specialised skill, there has been a general trend away from pencillers being their own inkers. Inking, as a profession, began to rise in importance, and Geraghty's portfolio demonstrates this. Despite his unusually long list of stories pencilled, he's only inked six relatively short stories — most of them his ''very'' earliest work: ''[[Operation Proteus (comic story)|Operation Proteus]]'', ''[[Black Destiny (comic story)|Black Destiny]]'', ''[[Bringer of Darkness (comic story)|Bringer of Darkness]]'', ''[[Plastic Millenium (comic story)|Plastic Millenium]]'', and ''[[A Life of Matter and Death (comic story)|A Life of Matter and Death]]'', whose credits are vague enough to allow for the possibility that the inks were actually done by [[Sean Longcroft]]. The ''only'' modern, colour story Geraghty inked was ''[[The Widow's Curse (comic story)|The Widow's Curse]]''.

== Most companions, most Doctors ==
Geraghty far and away holds the record of "most [[companion]]s drawn" — discounting, perhaps, the artists on ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'', who were just drawing different companions in cameos. Geraghty has drawn real, proper stories featuring: [[Susan Foreman]], [[Ian Chesterton]], [[Barbara Wright]], [[John Who]], [[Gillian Who]], [[Victoria Waterfield]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]], [[Harry Sullivan]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Tegan Jovanka]], [[Vislor Turlough]], [[Peri Brown]], [[Melanie Bush]], [[Ace]], [[Izzy Sinclair]], Dr. [[Grace Holloway]], [[Destrii]], [[the Brigadier]], [[Martha Jones]], [[Donna Noble]], [[Majenta Pryce]], [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]], [[Clara Oswald]], [[Bill Potts]], [[Yasmin Khan]], [[Ryan Sinclair]] and [[Graham O'Brien]].

He's also drawn the most incarnations of the Doctors in full, non-parodic stories. This record would discount "multi-Doctor" stories like ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'', where there's a two-page splash that shows ten incarnations in a single portrait, or parodies like ''[[Happy Deathday (comic story)|Happy Deathday]]''. Geraghty has drawn at least one "serious" story involving the [[First Doctor|First]], [[Second Doctor|Second]], [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]], [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]], [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]], [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth]], [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]], [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]] and [[Twelfth Doctor]]s. He's also been the ''final'' artist for the most number of Doctors, having drawn the DWM swansong for the Seventh, Eighth and Tenth Doctors.

== Big Finish previews ==
Geraghty has also been employed by DWM to draw "comic previews" for [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|Big Finish stories]]. These illustrations have accompanied reviews and/or announcements of particular Big Finish releases.
