The Doctor

The Doctor is the time-traveling alien protagonist of Doctor Who, a centuries-old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who explores the universe in the TARDIS, a craft disguised as a blue police box, accompanied by human companions.

Few characters carry the weight of nearly six decades of comics history quite like The Doctor, who made their four-color debut all the way back in 1964's TV Comic #673, brought to the page by artist Bill Mevin during the Silver Age. Across a remarkable publishing span stretching to 2023, this enduring figure has found a particularly vibrant home at IDW, appearing in standout titles like Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time alongside a memorable cast that includes Rose Tyler, Clara Oswald, and the shape-shifting Frobisher. With key appearances in IDW's Free Comic Book Day 2022 offering and the fun of Doctor Who Journey through Time, The Doctor is a character whose comic book legacy rewards curious readers willing to explore a catalogue that bridges generations of storytelling.
