* This one-page story was a reprint of a 1987 strip commonly called ''[[w:c:marvel:High Noon Tex|High Noon Tex]]'' where [[Death's Head]] first appeared in print. A newly drawn frame with [[Tex (Death's Head!)|Tex]] was added to the [[The Incomplete Death's Head (comic story)|linking material]] in the [[TIDH 1|first issue]] of ''[[The Incomplete Death's Head]]'' comic series. The original 1987 strip had no relation to [[Doctor Who Universe]] and, hence, is not considered a valid ''Doctor Who'' story. The validity of the the [[1992 (releases)|1992]] version is due to it being contained within the undeniably DWU linking material. Accordingly, only this 1992 reprint can be referenced on in-universe pages. Other reprints, for instance, in the 2007 graphic novel ''Death's Head: Volume 1'', remain invalid alongside the original strip. | * This one-page story was a reprint of a 1987 strip commonly called ''[[w:c:marvel:High Noon Tex|High Noon Tex]]'' where [[Death's Head]] first appeared in print.

** an Oscar-winning 1952 film {{wi|High Noon}} with {{w|Gary Cooper}} is a western, in line with Tex's attire; | |||
** this movie's theme song, "{{w|The Ballad of High Noon}}" was sung by {{w|Tex Ritter|''Tex'' Ritter}} and, incidentally, has a second title, based on the line "Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darlin’", which matches the title of another, later [[Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling! (comic story)|comic story]] with Death's Head. | |||
