: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. | :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.

: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) | :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) | ||
::Well the ''definitive'' name of any comic is generally considered to be that which appears on the indicia; i.e., that by which it's copyrighted. | |||
::*''Age of Chaos'' definitely deserves its own page, cause the ''only'' thing which appears in its indicia is ''Doctor Who: The Age of Chaos''. Contentually, it's the most "novel" DW graphic novel. It's ''not'' a trade paperback. It's the only one of these four things — indeed the only DW publication with the term ''graphic novel'' on its cover — that actually is a printing of original material (rather than a reprint), and its the only one that tells a single story. Although not bound like a novel, it at least has a definite beginning, middle and end to its story. | |||
::*''Abslom Daak: Dalek Killer'' is a slightly controversial inclusion as a graphic novel, but it's clearly no part of any other series. It was a part of the whole attempt to spin him off on his own into the Marvel UK universe, a testing of the waters to see if an Abslom Daak-centered title would work. That effort went nowhere, but this thing remains as a title on its own with no explicit connection to DWMS. It's also a co-production of Marvel UK and another company. | |||
::*''Voyager'' is officially ''Doctor Who Graphic Novel: ''Voyager'', and was co-published by BBC Books. The book acknowledges DWM in its frontispiece, but it's very clearly not a DWMS. | |||
::*''Dalek Chronicles'' is, as explained in the talk on its page, ''explicitly'' a part of DWMS. It's just a Summer Special. Yes, a rather extraordinary one, but officially that's what it is.
