The Doctor (The Doctor . Seventh incarnation, played by Sylv)

The seventh incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor, this regeneration brought a deceptively whimsical exterior concealing a cunning, chess-master intellect. Traveling time and space in the TARDIS alongside companions including the shape-shifting Frobisher, he debuted in Marvel UK's Doctor Who Magazine #130.

Few characters carry the weight of decades quite like The Doctor, who made their comics debut in Doctor Who Magazine #130 in 1987, brought to the page by the legendary Simon Furman and John Ridgway during the Copper Age. Across an extraordinary 36-year run stretching into 2023, this Marvel UK icon has anchored some of the medium's most beloved British comics, from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine to standout collections like Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time and the Doctor Who Graphic Novel line. Along the way, The Doctor has shared remarkable adventures with the likes of Frobisher, Abslom Daak, and Rose Tyler — a roster that speaks to the rich, sprawling universe this character inhabits. With 40 catalog appearances spanning generations of comics readers, The Doctor is an enduring fixture of British sequential art that any serious collector will want to explore.
