2 unusual facts about Peter Brookes


Peter Brookes

In the mid-1970s he replaced Chris Achilleos as regular jacket illustrator for Doctor Who novelisations from Target Books but his cartoon-style artwork proved less popular than Achilleos's more naturalistic style and he completed only four covers.

For a time he worked as cover artist for the Spectator but, in 1992, he moved to the Times, as its leader-page cartoonist, at the invitation of its newly appointed editor, Peter Stothard.
