The Official Doctor Who Magazine

Marvel UK's The Official Doctor Who Magazine ran for 14 issues from 1984 to 1985, bridging the gap between televised adventures with original comic strips. Written primarily by Steve Parkhouse and Maxwell Stockbridge, and illustrated by talents including John Ridgway, Steve Dillon, and Mick Austin, the series notably introduced the shape-shifting penguin companion Frobisher. A key artifact of the mid-1980s Doctor Who comics boom, it offered fans a fresh, off-screen take on the Doctor's travels.
