* Lee Sullivan's Doctor is [[ginger (trait)|ginger]], a trait in common with "[[The Doctor (Battlefield)|Merlin]]", a different future incarnation of the Doctor first seen in the 1991 ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'' novelisation.

** Sullivan said he had [[Alan Rickman]] in the back of his mind while designing his Doctor, but he was not modelled exactly on him.

** The comic was made for a BBC Publication, but it never got beyond a focus group. The concept was for [[Radio Times]] editor Matt Bookman's magazine pitch ''Sci-Files''. It was ultimately printed in a limited "dummy mags" titled ''Robot'' #0 (July 1998) sent to focus groups of young people. Sullivan recalled that "kids didn’t rate strip art much and really didn't know much about ''Doctor Who''". | ** The comic was made for a BBC Publication, but it never got beyond a focus group.
