The Doctor Omega Chronicles (series)

The Doctor Omega Chronicles was a book series published by Who Dares Publishing based on the titular character created in 1906 by the French writer.

Origin
In 2003, Doctor Who historian and writer Jean-Marc Lofficier unearthed the similarities between the Doctor and Galopin's character Doctor Omega. Lofficier consequently created an English version of Doctor Omega, half-translation and half-retelling, which was released in 2003 by Black Coat Publishing to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Doctor Who.

Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier began editing the anthology series in 2005 which featured a variety of public-domain literary characters. Doctor Omega appeared in several of the anthologies, with Doctor Who writer John Peel penning The Dynamics of an Asteroid in 2009's fifth volume The Vampires of Paris. This was Peel's first documented involvement with the character, and since then he was involved in producing two Doctor Omega series including; Doctor Omega's Parallel Adventures and The Doctor Omega Chronicles.

The Doctor Omega Chronicles featured a different status quo from Doctor Omega's Parallel Adventures as well as a completely different Doctor Omega logo, and implications that Doctor Omega was anything but a human were purged from the marketing. This series had John Peel as a chief editor and Andrew Skilleter as a cover artist. As of two novels have been released in the series; The Strike of Midnite and The Tomb of Undying Khalyr.

Connections to the DWU
The Galopin timeship was contributed by Skilleter with input from 3D artist Chris Walker-Thomson, the ship was inspired by the one which featured on Skilleter's cover for John Peel's Doctor Who book The Gallifrey Chronicles.
