The Many Doctors Collection was a collection of Titan Comics Doctor Who summer event stories, containing the graphic novels of Four Doctors and The Lost Dimension. It was ultimately never released with no explanation why.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
A brand new boxed set collecting three epic Doctor Who graphic novels! Each story features an epic multi-Doctor crossover in adventures like no other! Includes 3 stunning art cards!
This boxed set collects:
When an unseen enemy maneuvers the three Doctors into an impossible meeting, the future of the universe itself is put at stake. It will take all of the Doctor's innate cunning and adaptability to team up with his past and present selves to uncover the immensely powerful culprit, fix the time stream, and right an ancient wrong!
What mysterious event from the Doctors' collective past will have an unforgettable effect on their future?!
Four Doctors is the blockbuster next chapter in the stunning ongoing adventures of each Doctor - and also stars TV companion Clara Oswald alongside comics companions Gabby Gonzalez and Alice Obiefune.
It's an unmissable crossover epic from two creators at the height of their craft!
In this first of two volumes collecting 2017's giant Doctor Who crossover event, witness the return of Jenny, the Doctor's daughter, who has a terrifying message for the Twelfth Doctor, Bill and Nardole: the Void is hungry, and it's beginning to devour the universe we know and love!
From there, the threat of the Void spirals out to affect all of the Doctor's incarnations - from the Ninth, who re-encounters Silurian detective Madame Vastra, to the Tenth, who battles cybernetic foes on a space station orbiting a white hole, to the Eleventh, who journeys beyond the universe and into an impossible era of his civilization's ancient past...! Plus: find out what Jenny has been doing since we last saw her on TV! It's unmissable, beyond-epic entertainment, and essential reading for any Doctor Who fan!
In this second of two volumes collecting 2017's giant Doctor Who crossover event, the lives of the Twelfth Doctor and the Tenth Doctor collide in the most unexpected way, as their TARDISes become fused... and the whole of humanity seems turned against them!
Only by linking together all of the Doctor's lives - and delving deep into the horror of the Void - do the Doctors stand any chance of uncovering the mystery at its heart... and of saving the known universe from total annihilation! But what they find at the center of the Universe That Never Was will prove the most shocking discovery of all...
Plus - discover what River Song and the Fourth Doctor have been up to during this mega-event, and how they played a part in its unexpected resolution.
