Notes
- This one-page story was a reprint of a 1987 strip commonly called High Noon Tex where Death's Head first appeared in print. A newly drawn frame with Tex was added to the linking material in the first issue of The Incomplete Death's Head comic series. The original 1987 strip had no relation to Doctor Who Universe and, hence, is not considered a valid Doctor Who story. The validity of the the 1992 version is due to it being contained within the undeniably DWU linking material. Accordingly, only this 1992 reprint can be referenced on in-universe pages. Other reprints, for instance, in the 2007 graphic novel Death's Head: Volume 1, remain invalid alongside the original strip.
- The common title High Noon Tex for the story is based on Death's Head words, "High noon, Tex!", uttered before blowing Tex up. The only printed title present in the 1992 version is Death's Head!
- The character of Tex shares the name and accessories (hat and neckerchief) with the namesake character from Marvel prime universe.
- Despite the imprecise credits in TIDH 1, this strip was drawn by Bryan Hitch.[1]
Continuity
- Death's Head finds Tex in Hob's archive. (COMIC: The Incomplete Death's Head)
