Characters
References
- The Battles in Time comic strip often sought to reinforce the Doctor character with that as seen on screen by utilising various 'props' used in the TV series. Namely; blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
- The sonic screwdriver strangely seems to have the power to transport the Doctor between Earth and the Nin ship.
Notes
- Supporting the series of collectable Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine title, carried a regular 4 page comic strip series of the Tenth Doctor’s adventures.
- The limitation of only 4 pages meant that stories often lacked some depth in comparison to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
- Style wise, the artwork and colours were bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as with Doctor Who Adventures, it reflected the appeal to younger readers than that catered for by Doctor Who Magazine.
