The Doctor

A comic-strip incarnation of the time-traveling alien hero from the long-running BBC television series, this version of the Doctor appeared in Radio Times to coincide with the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie revival.

Debuting in the pages of Radio Times in 1996 — brought to life by Gary Russell and Lee Sullivan — The Doctor is a BBC Magazines creation whose comic life has stretched across a remarkable 27 years of the Modern Age, proving there's no shortage of adventures to tell. With 55 catalog appearances spanning titles like Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor and Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time, this is a character with genuine staying power on the printed page. Along the way, The Doctor shares issues with some of the most beloved figures in the wider Doctor Who universe — Rose Tyler, Amy Pond, Clara Oswald, and the shape-shifting Frobisher among them — making for wonderfully rich reading. With at least one key collector's issue to their name, this is a corner of comics history that any Doctor Who enthusiast will want to explore.
