Somewhat after the broadcast of ''[[Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' changed the Doctor in their comic strip from the [[Sixth Doctor]] to the [[Seventh Doctor]]. While the cancellation of the television series was undoubtedly bad news for [[Sylvester McCoy]]'s longevity in the role, it was an unexpected boon to the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s comic life. With no new Doctor on the horizon, the Seventh Doctor lived on in the pages of ''DWM'' for years after the transmission of [[Survival|his final televised adventure]]. | |||
== Comic Strip | In fact, the Seventh Doctor became the first incarnation of the Doctor to be in two regular comic publications simultaneously. Pre-figuring the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s later "double-duty" in ''DWM'' and ''[[Doctor Who Adventures]]'', the Seventh Doctor was, briefly, in both ''DWM'' and ''[[The Incredible Hulk Presents]]'', another [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] publication. | ||
Several different approaches were taken by ''DWM'' during this era. At first, they told stories which had no obvious connection to the television series. [[Frobisher]] briefly ushered in the new Doctor's era, before scampering off. The Doctor then travelled around either on his own or with one-off companions. | |||
After the television series ended, and the [[Virgin New Adventures]] series began, there was an effort to try to fit the comic stories into the novels' continuity. This period, though, came to a definitive end when ''DWM'' killed off Ace in ''[[Ground Zero]]'' — and act that deliberately returned ''DWM'' to its own, separate continuity. | |||
