The comic [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] wasn't actually much of a time-travel device. As almost every story was set in the far future, it was really more of a simple space ship. That threw the First Doctor's inclination towards historical adventures out the window. In addition, his status as "grandfather" was a point of some incredulity, as well. How could he be the grandfather to [[John and Gillian]]? What was their relationship to the never-referenced [[Susan]]? How did the stories told in the comic strips relate to the television series? These were all questions left completely unanswered. | The comic [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] wasn't actually much of a time-travel device.

Worse, still, the comic First Doctor was deprived even of the [[Dalek]]s. Since [[Terry Nation]] had licensed the comic Daleks to appear only by themselves from [[1965]] to [[1967]], the comic First Doctor never encountered them. He was forced instead to repeatedly face the ''TV Comic'' "substitute", the [[Trod]]s. | Worse, still, the comic First Doctor was deprived even of the [[Dalek]]s.
