Doctor Who Classic Comics: Difference between revisions

'''''Doctor Who Classic Comics''''' was a magazine published by [[Marvel Comics]] as a sister publication to ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. It was launched in [[1992]] by [[Marvel UK]] as collections of strips from previous tie-in titles, including ''[[TV Comic]]'', ''[[Countdown (magazine)|Countdown]]'' and ''[[TV Action]]'' and, later, strips from ''[[Doctor Who Weekly]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who Monthly]]''. [[John Freeman]], an editor of ''Doctor Who Magazine'' had negotiated the purchase of publishing rights to all of these comic strips.

A few issues included [[telesnap]]s features, publishing off air images from missing-presumed-wiped ''Doctor Who'' TV stories from the 1960s, at the same time that ''Doctor Who Magazine'' also ran telesnap features. The magazine also featured articles related to the all the Doctor Who comic strip stories, including interviews, listings and a detailed listing feature as well as a small mention of current news and events. Early issues included posters.

The publishing rights are now held by [[Panini Comics|Panini]], who bought the assets of Marvel UK in the 1990s and still publishes ''Doctor Who Magazine''. Although the title republished the [[The Dalek Chronicles|Daleks strip]] from ''[[TV Century 21]]'', those strip rights still reside with Express Newspapers.
