Where it came from
Sergeant John Benton, card number 157 in the Doctor Who collectible card set, depicts a character who was a staple of the series throughout the 1970s. As a member of the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, Benton served as a reliable, grounded counterpoint to the more eccentric Doctors of the era, particularly during the tenure of Jon Pertwee. This card was produced to celebrate his long-standing contribution to the mythos as an ally who bridged the gap between the military and the Doctor's extraterrestrial adventures.
The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Wei Guan, who captured the character's signature period aesthetic and stoic expression. In designing the card, the goal was to translate a quintessential human supporting character into the game's creature-based mechanics, highlighting his role as a soldier of the UNIT organization. Upon release, the card was received as a nostalgic inclusion for fans who valued the series' classic era and the specific camaraderie found in the UNIT family of characters.
