Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Supporting the series of collectible Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine carried a regular four page, individually titled comic strip of the Tenth Doctor's adventures.
- The artwork and colours were bold and bright, reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as did Doctor Who Adventures, reflected the appeal to readers younger than those catered to by Doctor Who Magazine.
- The Battles in Time comic strip sought to associate its Doctor with the one seen on screen by using "props" from the TV series: blue/brown suit, intelligent-looking glasses, sonic screwdriver and psychic paper.
Original print details[[edit] | [edit source]]
- 5/6 DWBIT 5 (4 pages) TO BE CONTINUED!!!

- The Doctor mentions a book he picked up being useful in discovering how to find the kidnapped survivors of Platform One. He visited a library to find such a book in COMIC: The Macrobe Menace.
- When the Doctor first mentions Gameworld Gamma, Rose hopes they aren't going to encounter any deadly game shows like they did in TV: Bad Wolf.
