First Doctor Comic Strip Stories

Title Notes:
  • Many of the early comic strip stories did not have individual story titles so there is no 'correct' title for many of the strips. Commentary and listings from older sources may use variant titles.
  • The titles given below conform to widely accepted titles (as referenced by Jean-Marc Lofficier and revised by John Ainsworth (comic historian)). The titles below were also adopted and used by Doctor Who Magazine and throughout Doctor Who Classic Comics (to which John Ainsworth) was a major contributer.
  • The titles used below are firstly taken from the strip itself or, from titles given by the preceding issue. In some cases the writer/artist has been able to provide a title for a given piece of work.
  • The listing below shows first publication details only. Reprint details can be found by following the story links.

Seventh/First crossovers

No doubt inspired by DW: Remembrance of the Daleks, the Seventh/First "non-crossover" comic story deserves special mention. The basic setup of this type of story follows the pattern established in Remembrance: the First Doctor does something in the past that the Seventh Doctor later revisits. The Doctors don't cross paths. The Seventh Doctor doesn't "de-age" into the First. It's just a simple look into the past. There have been three examples of this kind of story.

Doctor Who Yearbook

  • "A Religious Experience" (1994, principally features a story with the First Doctor, Ian and Barbara, but ends with a latter-day visit to the setting of the First Doctor story by the companionless Seventh Doctor.)

Multi-Doctor appearances

Since Hartnell relinquished the role, the First Doctor has generally appeared in multi-Doctor comic stories, in which other versions of himself have appeared alongside him. They have taken one of three approaches. Either they've featured serious attempts at justifying the reappearance of the First Doctor, they've been flat parodies. or they've been a little bit of both.
