Marvel Premiere #57

Marvel Premiere #57 brings Doctor Who to American comic book shelves in December 1980, with Walt Simonson's cover capturing the Fourth Doctor mid-stride — long scarf trailing, hat tipping into the air — as the iconic blue TARDIS crackles with energy behind him and a shadowy face looms large in the background. Inside, the creative team of writers Pat Mills and John Wagner joins artist Dave Gibbons on "Doctor Who and the Iron Legion," a promising combination of British comics talent brought stateside by Marvel. It's a genuinely exciting package for any fan of the Time Lord or adventure comics of the era.
