Stories
Notes
- This bumper issue of stories served as "Issue 0" of Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor. It could also be considered the first graphic novel volume of the series given it is a collection of stories relating to the run by proxy and its additional branding as "Volume 0".
- This comic was announced by Entertainment Weekly exclusively, with exclusive first look images, on 28 June 2018.[9]
- 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] start[ed] the main line of 13th Doctor ongoing" and that "What we’d like to do is a multi-Doctor big event thing to bring everyone into the range".[10]
- 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 Cushing but we have got War. We haven’t done two Tennant stories – even though apparently he’s two Doctors!"[10]
- 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.[10]
- Richard Dinnick was instructed not to make a multi-Doctor story as per Supremacy of the Cybermen or The Four Doctors, but instead, as he said, "standalone stories to show the Doctors in their era, in their comfort zone with their 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 [he]’d done two quite continuity-heavy stories for [the] 12th Doctor and a standalone that wasn’t". Though he "did put some Easter eggs in for fans".[10]
- 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.[10]
- Dinnick "want[ed] to put an element of 13 in each story – for example there’s a story about some aliens that are based on the 13th element of the periodic table", referencing Virtually Indestructible.[10]
