The Radio Times comic strips were a series of five comic stories featuring the Eighth Doctor, printed in the Radio Times, that ran for 42 issues starting the week after Doctor Who: The TV Movie was first broadcast on BBC1, making these the first-ever appearance of the Eighth Doctor in a non-television medium and the second-ever appearance of the Eighth Doctor in any medium.
Production details
The were scripted by Gary Russell with art by Lee Sullivan, colour by Alan Craddock and lettering by Alitta Fell.
The stories were ended early due to a change of management at the Radio Times. Originally they were planned to last for 60 issues with the fifth story to have the title Deceptions. Instead,Coda was produced to tie up dangling plot elements, rather abruptly.
Continuity
In terms of continuity, these probably take place between The Eight Doctors and The Dying Days. The strips also introduced two new companions, Stacy Townsend and Ssard who would both later appear in the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Placebo Effect, a sequel to the comic strips.
