==Notes==
*This bumper issue of [[Story|stories]] served as "Issue 0" of ''[[Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor]]''. It can also be considered a graphic novel [[Volume (book)|volume]] of the series given it is a collection of stories relating to the run and its additional branding as "Volume 0". Regardless of whether it is an issue or volume, it is included under ''The [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'' section in [[Titan Comics|Titan Comics']] [[Titan Publishing Group#Reader's Guides|Reader's Guide]].

*[[Titan Comics]]' ''[[Doctor Who]]'' editor [[Andrew James]] stated to [[Richard Dinnick]] that though Titan was releasing ''[[The Road to the Thirteenth Doctor]]'', there was "a gap before [[Jody Houser|Jody [Houser]]] start[ed] the main line of 13th Doctor ongoing" and that "What we’d like to do is a [[Multi-Doctor event|multi-Doctor big event]] thing to bring everyone into the range".<ref name=":0">[https://scifibulletin.com/doctor-who/interviews/interview-author-richard-dinnick-the-many-lives-of-doctor-who/ Interview: Author Richard Dinnick (The Many Lives of Doctor Who)] from [https://scifibulletin.com/ Sci-Fi Bulletin].</ref>
*The comic "started life" as ''The 13 Doctors'', according to Dinnick, before "we realised there were 14 if not 15 in there; we’ve not got [[Peter Cushing|Cushing]] but we have got [[War Doctor|War]].

*It was [[Jessica Burton]] who came up with the preamble of ''The Many Lives of...'' with the ''Doctor Who'' logo serving to finish the rest of the title, according to Richard Dinnick.<ref name=":0" /> In Titan Comics' Reader's Guide, this comic is simply titled as ''The Many Lives Of''.
*Richard Dinnick was instructed not to make a [[multi-Doctor story]] as per ''[[Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)|Supremacy of the Cybermen]]'' or ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|The Four Doctors]]'', but instead, as he said, "standalone stories to show [[The Doctor|the Doctors]] in their era, in their comfort zone with their [[Companion|companions]] doing a story that was reflective of their era". The other requirement "was not to have too much baggage" in terms of continuity references. He "liked [that] because [[The Wolves of Winter (comic story)|[he]’d done two]] [[A Confusion of Angels (comic story)|quite continuity-heavy stories]] for [the] [[12th Doctor]] and [[The Great Shopping Bill (comic story)|a standalone that wasn’t]]". Though he "did put some [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]] in for fans".<ref name=":0" />
*Richard Dinnick considers ''The Many Lives of Doctor Who'' "in [his] mind at least" to be the 55th anniversary special, as "Every Doctor is in it". However, he does concede "we don’t see [[Daleks]] or [[Cybermen]] or [[Sontarans]] etc", but does point out ''Harvest of the Daleks'' is of course about the Daleks.<ref name=":0" />
*Dinnick "want[ed] to put an element of [[13 (number)|13]] in each story – for example there’s a story about some [[Haxeen|aliens]] that are based on [[Aluminium|the 13th element]] of the [[periodic table]]", referencing ''Virtually Indestructible''.<ref name=":0" />
