Notes

This comic is a meta-fictional effort, featuring a "real world" character watching Doctor Who and the Doctor (Fourth) turning up, seemingly the person who is telling the story's friend.
This is the first time the theme tune has been rendered in a comic, with lyrics:

Da-Lin-Da-Din

Wa-ooooo

This is the final Fourth Doctor DWM comic strip.

Continuity

TV: The Ark in Space is referenced.
A scene from TV: Nightmare of Eden is seen on a TV screen.
There are depictions of scenes from TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang, The Deadly Assassin, Terror of the Autons, Terror of the Zygons and The Green Death.
The comic ends with a homage to TV: The Android Invasion.
A Cyberman is shown to be rising from a grave. This would later happen many times over in AUDIO: The Reaping and TV: Death in Heaven.

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.

Sontaran stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Sontaran story" is one in which one living, authentic Sontaran plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Halloween Apocalypse and Survivors of the Flux are not counted due to the Sontarans' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories. Stories like The End of Time and The Time of the Doctor are also not included due to the Sontarans' appearance being no consequence to the plot of the story. Stories featuring Strax of the Paternoster Gang are only included on the Paternoster Gang story template.

The Next 20 Years

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
