A couple of things on the list here are not graphic novels in either sense of the word, while only ''Age of Chaos'' comes close to meeting generally-accepted North American sense of the term. Something which is a numbered part of another series (as indicated by the indicia) isn't a graphic novel. On whatever side of the Atlantic you find yourself, the 1985 Summer Special or The Dalek Chronicles aren't graphic novels, they're normal issues of the ''Doctor Who Magazine Specials''.

:[[The Mark of Mandragora (graphic novel)|The Mark of Mandragora]] and [[Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer (graphic novel)|Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer]] would also fit the definition of graphic novel. | |||
:As for restructuring, the Panini range could be created under [[Panini Book Graphic Novels]] (as that's what it's called on the cover, though I'm wondering if it should have 'Doctor Who' in the title somewhere? | |||
:Of the Marvel releases they should probably be separated out, the classic comics one belongs with the other classic comics, the same goes for the summer special. I'd argue the Dalek Chronicles magazine is a graphic novel (it's certainly long enough) and does collect ever single story of the original run into one big release. Not sure about the collected comics. So that would leave; Age of Chaos, Voyager, Abslom Daak and The Dalek Chronicles together. | |||
:Virgin...well it'd need a page of its own, maybe discussing why it got the rights to release only Mark of Mandragora.--[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 05:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
