As with the television series, the [[William Hartnell]]'s [[First Doctor]] was '''the original comic strip Doctor'''. | |||
The first ''Doctor Who'' comics to be printed were those featured in ''[[TV Comic]]''. Consistently labeled as little more than the series' title for the entire run, all but one of the original ''First Doctor'' stories were given titles much later by comic strip and ''Who'' historians. The original comics introduced the characters of the Doctor's grandchildren, [[John Who|John]] and [[Gillian Who|Gillian]], who served as the strip's replacements to [[Susan Foreman]]. The strip introduced them as having lived on [[20th century]] [[Earth]] before meeting their grandfather, but never expounded on their origins before the comic, nor their relation to Susan. Because of this, stories exploring the Doctor's family or history on [[Gallifrey]] have almost consistently "forgotten" about John and Gillian, and the lack of an acceptable "gap" for these stories to take place has often confounded fans interested in the timeline of the Doctor's life (an issue that would continue on through the [[Fourth Doctor comic stories|Fourth]] and [[Fifth Doctor comic stories|Fifth Doctor's comic adventures]]). Despite this, John and Gillian's adventures have not gone totally ignored by other stories, being briefly mentioned in such things as the [[BBC Audio]] story ''[[A Sting in the Tale (audio story)|A Sting in the Tale]]'' and the [[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]] story ''[[The Man Who (Nearly) Killed Christmas (short story)|The Man Who (Nearly) Killed Christmas]]''. | |||
The First Doctor also appeared in a series of ''[[Give-a-Show Projector]]'' stories in [[1965 (releases)|1965]], which featured the only comics to date of him battling the [[Dalek]]s. He would later be featured in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' adventures both in their main series and in specials. | |||

Latest revision as of 20:47, 3 November 2024
As with the television series, the William Hartnell's First Doctor was the original comic strip Doctor.
The first Doctor Who comics to be printed were those featured in TV Comic. Consistently labeled as little more than the series' title for the entire run, all but one of the original First Doctor stories were given titles much later by comic strip and Who historians. The original comics introduced the characters of the Doctor's grandchildren, John and Gillian, who served as the strip's replacements to Susan Foreman. The strip introduced them as having lived on 20th century Earth before meeting their grandfather, but never expounded on their origins before the comic, nor their relation to Susan. Because of this, stories exploring the Doctor's family or history on Gallifrey have almost consistently "forgotten" about John and Gillian, and the lack of an acceptable "gap" for these stories to take place has often confounded fans interested in the timeline of the Doctor's life (an issue that would continue on through the Fourth and Fifth Doctor's comic adventures). Despite this, John and Gillian's adventures have not gone totally ignored by other stories, being briefly mentioned in such things as the BBC Audio story A Sting in the Tale and the Short Trips story The Man Who (Nearly) Killed Christmas.
The First Doctor also appeared in a series of Give-a-Show Projector stories in 1965, which featured the only comics to date of him battling the Daleks. He would later be featured in Doctor Who Magazine adventures both in their main series and in specials.
