Moore starts the article with the admission that, as a former comic fan, he harbours a "secret and unhealthy passion for [[continuity]] between seemingly unrelated stories" which influenced his work in the pages of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. | Moore starts the article with the admission that, as a former comic fan, he harbours a "secret and unhealthy passion for [[continuity]] between seemingly unrelated stories" which influenced his work in the pages of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. | ||
Following the writing of ''[[Star Death (comic story)|Star Death]]'', Moore began thinking about the complications of [[time travel]] warfare, coming to the conclusion that a group of specialists would be needed to understand the twists and turns of a time war. These musings led to ''[[4-D War (comic story)|4-D War]]'', which introduces the "manimal" [[Wardog]] and his Executive and kills off member [[Viridian]] in two panels of her introduction! The next story, ''[[Black Sun Rising (comic story)|Black Sun Rising]]'' introduces [[Cobweb (Black Sun Rising)|Cobweb]] and [[Zeitgeist (Black Sun Rising)|Zeitgeist]], as well as [[Millenium (Black Sun Rising)|Millenium]] (who swiftly dies). ''Black Sun Rising'' was originally to be drawn by [[Steve Dillon]], and so Dillon did the character designs for the new Executive members. | Following the writing of ''[[Star Death (comic story)|Star Death]]'', Moore began thinking about the complications of [[time travel]] warfare, coming to the conclusion that a group of specialists would be needed to understand the twists and turns of a time war.

As Moore didn't write another story for ''Doctor Who'', "the Special Executive were seeming cut down in their prime before [he] could explain who they were, how many there were of them, how their odd time-based powers functioned, or any of the rest of the material [he] had planned." Now, a few years later, Moore has convinced his editors to let him bring back the Executive and explore members such as [[Fascination (Executive Action)|Fascination]] and [[Legion (Executive Action)|Legion]] who had been previously unseen. | As Moore didn't write another story for ''Doctor Who'', "the Special Executive were seeming cut down in their prime before [he] could explain who they were, how many there were of them, how their odd time-based powers functioned, or any of the rest of the material [he] had planned."
