The Doctor

The Doctor is the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) aboard the USS Voyager, a sophisticated holographic physician activated when the ship's medical staff were killed. Stranded in the Delta Quadrant, he gradually develops a distinct personality and sense of self beyond his original programming.

Few characters capture the singular charm of Star Trek: Voyager's holographic physician quite like The Doctor does on the comics page. Debuting in 1997's Star Trek: Voyager #3 — a Modern Age entry brought to life by writer Laurie S. Sutton and artist Jesús Redondo — this IDW figure has maintained a presence in the catalog stretching nearly three decades, a testament to the enduring affection fans hold for the Voyager crew. His comics adventures place him squarely among the Delta Quadrant's finest, sharing pages with Seven of Nine, Captain Kathryn Janeway, Tom Paris, B'Elanna Torres, and Neelix across titles like Star Trek: Flesh and Stone and the Star Trek Classics line. If you love Voyager and want to see its most memorably sardonic crew member rendered in ink and color, The Doctor's handful of catalog appearances are well worth seeking out.
