The first ''Doctor Who'' comics to be printed were those featured in ''[[TV Comic]]''. Consistently labeled as little more than the series' title for the entire run, all but one of the original ''First Doctor'' stories were given titles much later by comic strip and ''Who'' historians. The original comics introduced the characters of the Doctor's grandchildren, [[John and Gillian]], who served as the strip's replacements to [[Susan Foreman]]. The strip introduced them as having lived on [[20th century]] [[Earth]] before meeting their grandfather, but never expounded on their origins before the comic, nor their relation to Susan. Because of this, stories exploring the Doctor's family or history on [[Gallifrey]] have almost consistently "forgotten" about John and Gillian, and the lack of an acceptable "gap" for these stories to take place has often confounded fans interested in the timeline of the Doctor's life (an issue that would continue on through the [[Fourth Doctor comic stories|Fourth]] and [[Fifth Doctor comic stories|Fifth Doctor's comic adventures]]). Despite this, John and Gillian's adventures have not gone totally ignored by other stories, being briefly mentioned in such things as the [[BBC Audio]] story ''[[A Sting in the Tale (audio story)|A Sting in the Tale]]'' and the [[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]] story ''[[The Man Who (Nearly) Killed Christmas (short story)|The Man Who]]''. | The first ''Doctor Who'' comics to be printed were those featured in ''[[TV Comic]]''.
