In Memoriam: Comics Writer, Editor and TV Script Writer Si Spencer

Artist Dix and writer Si Spencer at the Lakes International Comic Art Festival in 2015 Much deserved tributes aplenty have poured in for comic creator, comic editor, TV writer and author Si Spencer, whose sudden passing was announced by his family earlier this week.

More bizarre are the comments about how bad the show is now when said edgelords claims to have stopped watching when Capaldi’s era ended. I mean, get a grip guys ( And it is 99% guys making this sort of butt hurt commentary) It’s a TV…
