It's Even Bigger on the Inside
It's Even Bigger on the Inside was a compilation of the Doctor Who? strips from Doctor Who Magazine, both the contents of The Doctor Who Fun Book and It's Bigger on the Inside!, and other Doctor Who-related content by Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett.
Publisher's summary
For over a decade from 1982 to 1995, Tim Quinn would write and Dicky Howett would draw the regular comic strip in Marvel's Doctor Who Magazine.
Silly, wacky and always funny, these strips led to two spin-off publications in the late eighties by which time the strip had moved with the evolving magazine and gone to colour.
Reprinted here for the first time is a collection of well over 150 strips, some in full colour, from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine as well as the contents of both The Doctor Who Fun Book and It's Bigger on the Inside. The artwork has been painstakingly restored to provide the best quality reproduction possible.
Also included along the way are the thoughts of Tim & Dicky and some previously unpublished material along with some Doctor Who material Dicky Howett produced long before his time on Doctor Who Magazine going back as far as 1966. Not only that, but all their work for the Doctor Who Specials and the Doctor Who Yearbooks.
It really is even bigger on the inside ...

Notes
Additional content
- The introduction is written by Tim Quinn.
- A section called "Advertising" features various pages from issues of Doctor Who Magazine that promoted The Doctor Who Fun Book and It's Bigger on the Inside!.
- The section called "From Dicky's Brain" features Howett's thoughts on some of his past illustrative work, in particular the progression of his depictions of the Fifth and Sixth Doctors, as well as Peri Brown.
- An interview by Colin Brockhurst for Vworp Vworp! from 2010 is also featured.
- Some exclusive paperbacks in 2018 were released with an insert featuring an illustration of Jodie Whittaker's newly revealed Thirteenth Doctor on the front, and portraits of the First through Twelfth Doctors and Dr. Who on the back.
Supplemental
- After the release of the hardback edition in 2015, Miwk Publishing released a "supplemental" containing some content excluded from the physical version. The last page of Nostalgia Corner and The Doctor Who Cermony 1989 were both left out in error while Exclusive! was left out because it was printed in "terrible quality" and also wasn't drawn. Also included in the supplemental is some original artwork from The Doctor Who History Tour No. 8.
- For the paperback edition in 2017, the missing pages were restored but Exclusive! remained absent, as did the artwork from The History Tour. Also not included was Doctor Whos?, which had been printed in DWM 500 several months after the publication of the hardback edition.
Other matters
- This book was released at £22.99 and €20.00.
- The book was printed in Great Britain by 4Edge.
- Many individuals were acknowledged in the book for their "invaluable assistance and generosity" including Alys Hayes, Alan Hayes, Paul Cooke, Marcus Gipps, Andrew Cartmel, Colin Young, John Freeman, Gary Russell, Jonathan Potter, Philip Brennan, James C McFetridge, Colin Burden, Stephen Candy, Steve Herbert, Stephen Griffiths, Paul Bensilum, Paul Smith, Gillian Moore, Anthony Rooney, Peri Godbold, Jason Brindley, Julian Knott, Gareth Kavanagh, Colin Brockhurst, Bill Marsh and Jeremy Bement. Tom Spilsbury and Peter Ware of Doctor Who Magazine were also thanked.
- Notably absent from both editions is The Doctor Who History Tour No. 10. No explanation was offered for its exclusion.
