Two separate series of original comic strips featuring the [[Eighth Doctor]] (and thus the likeness of actor [[Paul McGann]]) were published during the character's original tenure. The ''[[Radio Times]]'' published a weekly comic strip for a time. There was also the standard ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' strip. The two series introduced brand-new companions, although the Eighth Doctor's only on-screen companion, [[Grace Holloway]], also appeared twice. There were also cameo appearances by companions from past DWM series. [[The Master]] was also resurrected. | Two separate series of original comic strips featuring the [[Eighth Doctor]] (and thus the likeness of actor [[Paul McGann]]) were published during the character's original tenure.

Davies had proposed that the magazine's strip regenerate McGann's Doctor at the conclusion of ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]''. Whilst a draft was prepared to include the regeneration, the idea was abandoned as the magazine team had reservations about taking such an important element from the television series should McGann ever be used in the series for flashback purposes. Eventually the decision was taken to simply end ''The Flood'' on a note similar to ''[[Survival]]'', with the Eighth Doctor and Destrii's later adventures left a mystery to the readers. | ||
