'''''The Arkwood Experiments''''' was the comic debut of the [[Third Doctor]], [[UNIT]] and [[the Brigadier]]. It followed the first major break in ''Doctor Who'' comic strip history — a nearly two month gap since [[The Night Walkers (comic story)|the Second Doctor's swansong]]. The hiatus somewhat mirrored the unusually long seven month gap between [[season 6]] and [[season 7]] on television.
