We are pleased to announce that British writer David J Howe will be returning to the Wales Comic Con once again in 2014!
In the early 1990s, he began to write the first in-depth critical texts of the British television series Doctor Who, and as a result has become closely associated with the show's history. He has written or co-written over thirty titles about the show, and continues to be involved with a variety of publications, often acting as consultant or reviewer.
Howe and Stephen James Walker set up the publishing house Telos Publishing in 2000. The first publication under the Telos name was the first edition of Howe's Transcendental Toybox, written by Howe and Arnold T. Blumberg.
Howe also has one of the largest collections of Doctor Who merchandise in the world. His collection was featured in the television programme Collectors Lot and on a special Doctor Who edition of Antiques Roadshow.
Aside from his Doctor Who work, Howe was the reviews editor for the horror film magazine Shivers from 1994 to 2008, when it ceased publication. He was also a contributing editor to Starburst magazine from 1984 to 2001, and edited the book reviews column for that magazine for sixteen years. Howe has also contributed reviews, articles and interviews to publications including Fear, Doctor Who Magazine, The Guardian, Film Review, SFX, Sci-Fi Entertainment, Collectors' Gazette, Death Ray, Doctor Who Insider and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Howe edited the British Fantasy Society's bi-monthly newsletter from 1992 to 1995, and was the chair of that organisation from September 2010 to October 2011.
