The Arkwood Experiments was the comic debut of the Third Doctor, UNIT and Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. It followed the first major break in Doctor Who comic strip history — a nearly two month gap since the Second Doctor's swansong. The hiatus somewhat mirrored the unusually long seven month gap between season 6 and season 7 on television.
