Sixth Doctor comic stories
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Overview
- The Sixth Doctor Comic Strip Stories were published in Doctor Who Magazine (DWM) throughout Colin Baker's tenure as the Sixth Doctor and also provided Doctor Who stories to fans during the show's hiatus (between 1985 and 1986.
- The Doctor Who Magazine launched the Fifth Doctor's comic strip adventures with the Doctor travelling on his own.His first story introduced Frobisher the shape changing penguin companion who subsequently appeared with the Seventh Doctor and also appeared in two Big Finish - Doctor Who Audio Dramas and BBC Past Doctor Adventures.
- Image rights were later obtained for Nicola Bryant and the companion Peri joined the Doctor and Frobisher's adventures.
- While most of the adventures occur within their own continuity, direct references to the television series make placing these adventures into on-screen continuity problematic.
- While Doctor Who Magazine mostly used the current Doctor in their regular comic strip adventures, subsequent Fifth Doctor comic strip stories have appeared from time to time in the regular magazine, specials and in other publications.
