Marvel Comics is an American comic book publisher with roots dating back to the 1930s, although it came into its own by publishing a line of popular superhero comics in the early 1960s. Starting in 1978 and continuing until the mid-2000s, Marvel's UK branch published Doctor Who Magazine (the licence for the magazine was later taken over by Panini Comics). The magazine included a serialized comic strip, and Marvel's US branch reprinted these in a monthly Doctor Who comic book in the early 1980s. Other Doctor Who-related publications issued by Marvel included the miniseries The Ashes of Eden, written by Colin Baker, a graphic novel, Voyager (more reprints from DWM's comic strip), the Doctor Who Year Book - an early 1990s attempt at reviving the Annual format - and Doctor Who Classic Comics, a magazine dedicated to reprinting DWM strips as well as early-era First and Second Doctor strips. Marvel also published the comic Death's Head, which featured cross-overs with Doctor Who.
