'''''TV Comic''''' was a weekly comic anthology published in [[Britain]] from 1951 to 1984. It printed ''Doctor Who'' stories from [[1964 (releases)|1964]] to [[1979 (releases)|1979]] (except for 1971 to 1973, when the ''Doctor Who'' feature appeared in ''[[TV Action]]'' instead).

'''''TV Comic''''' was a weekly magazine published by [[Polystyle Publications, Ltd.]] in Britain from 1951 to 1984. It printed ''Doctor Who'' strips from [[1964 (releases)|1964]] to [[1979 (releases)|1979]].


== Stories by issue ==
== History ==
Throughout the ''TV Comic'' strips, the Doctor was primarily called "Dr. Who" by his companions and the narration. For convenience, the later-established incarnation numbering schema is used on this page instead of, for instance, "[[William Hartnell]]'s [[First Doctor|Dr. Who]]".
 
The ''TV Comic'' strips are notable for introducing a number of original characters, including companions and aliens. Original companions included [[the Doctor]]'s grandchildren, [[John Who|John]] and [[Gillian Who|Gillian]], as well as [[Arnold (Children of the Evil Eye)|Arnold]]. As the comic rights to the [[Dalek]]s were initially held by competing magazine ''[[TV Century 21]]'', original villains called the [[Trod]]s were used in their place. However, in [[1967 (releases)|1967]], the rights to use the Daleks were finally able to be acquired by ''TV Comic''; and the Daleks were subsequently shown to massacre the Trods in ''[[The Trodos Ambush (comic story)|The Trodos Ambush]]''.
 
From the years [[1971 (releases)|1971]] to [[1973 (releases)|1973]], new ''Doctor Who'' comics were instead printed in ''TV Comic''{{'}}s sister magazine, ''[[TV Action|Countdown/TV Action]]''.
 
Beginning with [[TVC 1386]] in [[July (releases)|July]] [[1978 (releases)|1978]], old ''TV Comic'' [[Second Doctor|Second]] and [[Third Doctor]] strips were reprinted with new art showing the then-current [[Fourth Doctor]]'s face. This modification and reuse of pre-existing material continued until [[TVC 1430]] in [[1979 (releases)|1979]], when Polystyle opted not to renew their licence and the rights to ''Doctor Who'' comics moved to [[Marvel Comics UK]]'s new magazine ''[[Doctor Who Weekly]]''.
 
The ''TV Comic'' run of ''Doctor Who'' concluded with [[TVC 1430]] on [[11 May (releases)|11 May]] 1979.

TV Comic used the Doctor and the Daleks in five known back-up comics, four times in "[[Pick of the Jokes]]" and once in ''[[TV Terrors (series)|TV Terrors]]''. One notable aspect was that these cameos appear to follow licensing restrictions: for instance, Daleks did not appear in these comics until TV Comic obtained a license to use them from the [[Terry Nation]] Estate.

You may be looking for the in-universe ship.

TV Comic was a weekly magazine published by Polystyle Publications, Ltd. in Britain from 1951 to 1984. It printed Doctor Who strips from 1964 to 1979.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

Throughout the TV Comic strips, the Doctor was primarily called "Dr. Who" by his companions and the narration. For convenience, the later-established incarnation numbering schema is used on this page instead of, for instance, "William Hartnell's Dr. Who".

The TV Comic strips are notable for introducing a number of original characters, including companions and aliens. Original companions included the Doctor's grandchildren, John and Gillian, as well as Arnold. As the comic rights to the Daleks were initially held by competing magazine TV Century 21, original villains called the Trods were used in their place. However, in 1967, the rights to use the Daleks were finally able to be acquired by TV Comic; and the Daleks were subsequently shown to massacre the Trods in The Trodos Ambush.

From the years 1971 to 1973, new Doctor Who comics were instead printed in TV Comic's sister magazine, Countdown/TV Action.

Beginning with TVC 1386 in July 1978, old TV Comic Second and Third Doctor strips were reprinted with new art showing the then-current Fourth Doctor's face. This modification and reuse of pre-existing material continued until TVC 1430 in 1979, when Polystyle opted not to renew their licence and the rights to Doctor Who comics moved to Marvel Comics UK's new magazine Doctor Who Weekly.

The TV Comic run of Doctor Who concluded with TVC 1430 on 11 May 1979.

Back-up strips[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor fights with a police officer, wanting to get to his TARDIS.
The cast of TV Terror accidentally steal the TARDIS.
Two Daleks talk, in TV Comic 798.

TV Comic used the Doctor and the Daleks in five known back-up comics, four times in "Pick of the Jokes" and once in TV Terrors. One notable aspect was that these cameos appear to follow licensing restrictions: for instance, Daleks did not appear in these comics until TV Comic obtained a license to use them from the Terry Nation Estate.

These comics are:

  • TVC 696: In an untitled comic, the Doctor attempts to get back to the TARDIS, or perhaps just a police box, but is blocked by an officer.
  • TVC 709: TV Terrors: An instalment of TV Terrors saw Monica, Buttons, and Cuthbert trying to meet "Dr. Who" after watching him on television.
  • TVC 740: In another untitled comic, the Doctor enters a police box, only to find an officer exiting. The Doctor responds "Oops! Sorry! Wrong box!"
  • TVC 794: In an otherwise non-Who strip, a child carries a small Dalek on a leash.
  • TVC 798: In a third untitled strip, two Daleks talk, one speaking of their "transistors".
