The Forest Bride (comic story)

The Forest Bride was a comic story published in Doctor Who Magazine in 2021. Starring the Thirteenth Doctor, it was the first strip to be explicitly set after the on-screen departures of Ryan Sinclair and Graham O'Brien, with the strip being a Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan-led story.

Behind the scenes, it marked the end of the main comic strip's second hiatus brought about by the struggles of the COVID-19 pandemic.
