The Writers' Comics are a series of short online comic strip adventures that were posted by the BBC to its Doctor Who website in 2008. The stories were created by professional writers (most of whom have written episodes and novels for Doctor Who) using Comic Maker, an online tool that allowed users to create their own comic strips using clip art and backgrounds based upon the TV series, including character art from the animated serial DW: The Infinite Quest.
While Comic Maker was only available for use to UK-based visitors to the website, the Writers' Comics stories were freely available internationally.
The comics feature the Tenth Doctor, plus assorted companions and characters from the series (varying depending on the needs of the story). Each comic is 5 or 6 pages long and tells simplified storylines along the lines of what might be found in an old-style Annual or children's storybook.
