Si Spencer

An issue #368 of Doctor Who Magazine from March 2006 revealed that he was to write an episode for the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood and that he would make an appearance at the 2006 Bristol Comic Expo to publicise it,^[ambiguous] though he was not among the writers of episodes for the first series. However, a 2010 book Torch, Wood & Peasants, which was credited to "Webley Wildfoot", details the story of a writer on a fictitious British SF series and contains a script that has several strong similarities to Torchwood.

His later work included The Vinyl Underground for Vertigo.

In October 2010, Vertigo published the first issue of a Hellblazer mini-series, Hellblazer: City of Demons.

Spencer also ran a Facebook page 'Script Doctor', providing advice and support for new writers.

In June 2014, Vertigo published the first issue of his creator-owned monthly eight issue limited series Bodies. A television adaptation of the comic by Netflix and Bondage Pictures premiered in October 2023.^[4][5]

In 2015, Self Made Hero published the one-shot graphic novel Klaxon in September. Two months later, Vertigo published the first issue of the six-part series Slash & Burn.

Spencer died from heart failure in February 2021.^[6]
