Doctor Dolittle

Doctor Dolittle, a two-issue comic series from Thorpe & Porter (1973–1974), adapts Hugh Lofting's classic character into a short-lived but charmingly illustrated adventure. While the creative team behind this brief run is not widely documented, the series captures the gentle, whimsical spirit of the original books, with Doctor Dolittle communicating with animals and embarking on a single, contained story. Though it never expanded beyond its initial pair of issues, it stands as a modestly curious footnote in the character's publishing history, offering a quick, faithful taste of the animal-speaking doctor for a new audience.
