Comic Books

In 1966, Dell Comics published the first Doctor Who comic book, an adaptation of the Dr. Who and the Daleks movie, in their Dell Movie Classics series.

Marvel Comics was next, publishing colorized reprints of Doctor Who Magazine comic strips in four issues of their Marvel Premiere comic book series in 1980 and 1981. Marvel followed that run with Doctor Who, a 23 issue series that picked up where Marvel Premiere left off and was published between 1984 and 1986. In 1989, Marvel published a first-print Doctor Who comic strip in their Death's Head comic book series. Other Marvel comic book titles, such as Star-Lord: The Special Edition and The Incomplete Death's Head have contained reprints of Doctor Who Magazine comic strips.

In 2007, Idea and Design Works Comics (IDW) started publishing re-colorized reprints of Doctor Who Magazine comic strips in their Doctor Who Classics series. They followed that in 2008 with a series of comic books containing new series comic strips. Both of these lines are currently running.
