Crosby Marvel artist Tim Quinn: 'Growing up in Liverpool gave me the belief that things could happen'
The comic book writer on Beatlemania, Stan Lee and Dr Who - and why every Scouser should move to Indiana
Tim Quinn, a comic-book writer from Crosby, has come full circle.
He has lived in Indiana, worked with members of the Rolling Stones, commissioned work from Stan Lee, drawn for Marvel Comics and created a unique Doctor Who comic strip.
Now back on Merseyside, he is publishing a book of his much-loved work on Doctor Who Magazine, and says that compiling it has taken him back to his childhood on Merseyside when the series started.
He was ten years old when Doctor Who came out in 1963, and in that year he had his first introduction to stardom, courtesy of the Beatles.
“Growing up in Liverpool gave me the belief that things could happen, because we were basically taking over the world.
“It made you realise that the world was your oyster, and with a bit of luck and a bit of talent, anything could happen.”
