Originally user generated comics could be submitted for publishing online. These comics were subject to moderators who would on occasion edit or remove images to make the submitted comics adhere to the Comic Maker's "house rules". <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/feedback.shtml |title=FAQ/Feedback |date of source= January 2006 |website name=BBC - Doctor Who - Contact Us |accessdate=26th December 2011}}</ref> However following approximately a year online, a relaunch of Comic Maker occurred on [[16 December]] [[2008]]. The changes were that comics could be printed and that comics could no longer be submitted for publishing online. <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/news/081017_news_01 |title=Comic Maker Is Regenerating |date of source=20th Nov 2008 |website name=BBC - Doctor Who |accessdate=26th December 2011}}</ref>

Also during 2008, several comics created by writers who had previously written for ''Doctor Who'' were posted to the site. See [[BBC Writers' Comics]] for more information.
