'''''Doctor Conkerer''''' was a [[Seventh Doctor]] comic story that was originally destined for the pages of ''[[The Incredible Hulk Presents]]'', but was ultimately printed in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''.

Just after his reunion with [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah]] ([[DWM]]: ''[[Train-Flight]]'') and immediately prior to retrieving [[Ace]] from the [[Cretaceous]] era, ([[DWM]]: ''[[Living in the Past]]''), the [[Seventh Doctor]] suddenly fancies a game of [[conkers]].  He lands [[the TARDIS]] in [[5th century]] [[Britain]] and tries his luck with some initially unfriendly [[Viking]]s.

''to be added''

* This strip was produced for issue #13 ''[[The Incredible Hulk Presents]]'' comic but that title folded after issue #12. It was thus run in ''Doctor Who Magazine'' but not originally intended for it. Marvel's management had intended that the strips in ''Hulk'' should all be re-used in ''Doctor Who Magazine'' but John Freeman argued they were written for a younger audience and would run against all he was trying to do to appeal to ''Doctor Who'' fans in the ''Magazine'', in terms of features and fiction.

 

This is one of the few [[Seventh Doctor]] strips that affords rather precise dating.  The Doctor says at the top of the story that it was lovely to see [[Sarah Jane|Sarah]] again, and that he's on his way to rejoining [[Ace]]. Within [[Marvel UK]] continuity, at least, this can only mean that: 

* the story occurs after [[DWM]]: ''[[Train-Flight]]''

* the story occurs before [[DWM]]: ''[[Living in the Past]]''
