* [[Marvel UK]] created more than one character who appeared in titles owned by the company, including ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. The characters of the [[Special Executive]] (troubleshooters employed by the [[Time Lord]]s, who had appeared in ''[[4-D War]]'' and ''[[Black Sun Rising]]'') appeared with {{w|Captain Britain}} in the "{{w|Jaspers' Warp}}" storyline written by the Special Executive's creator, [[Alan Moore]]. | * [[Marvel UK]] created more than one character who appeared in titles owned by the company, including ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''.

* The ''Doctor Who'' comics version of [[Merlin]] appeared briefly in ''Captain Britain'' in a sequence demonstrating that Merlin had several alternate appearances and personalities that he could adopt as he saw fit.

* In ''[[The Crossroads of Time]]'', published in ''Doctor Who Magazine'', the [[Seventh Doctor]] ran into (literally) [[Death's Head]], who was thrown from the ''Transformers Generation 1'' universe into the [[Time Vortex]]; he sent Death's Head to the future Earth of ''Dragon's Claws'' (a Marvel UK title that may be set in the ''Doctor Who'' universe, since [[Josiah W. Dogbolter|Dogbolter]] and [[Keepsake]] are both residents of this Earth). Later, the Doctor guest-starred in Death's Head's comic book from [[Marvel UK]], a crossover that ended with the Doctor depositing Death's Head in the main Marvel universe (Earth-616) atop the Fantastic Four's headquarters, Fours Freedom Plaza - providing a direct link between the ''Doctor Who'' universe and Marvel's universe. Death's Head himself interacted with mainstream superheroes from the Marvel universe, which provides another, indirect, link between the mainstream Marvel Universe and the ''Doctor Who'' universe. | * In ''[[The Crossroads of Time]]'', published in ''Doctor Who Magazine'', the [[Seventh Doctor]] ran into (literally) [[Death's Head]], who was thrown from the ''Transformers Generation 1'' universe into the [[Time Vortex]]; he sent Death's Head to the future Earth of ''Dragon's Claws'' (a Marvel UK title that may be set in the ''Doctor Who'' universe, since [[Josiah W.
