Forum:Comic previews

Are comic previews in-universe? Some, such as the one from The Holy Terror, appear so. However, they are not offical images for the audio and so it is debatable. I previously questioned this (as you can see on my talk page) but it never came to a conclusion.--Skittles the hog-- Talk 16:34, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well they are official images, coming from DWM, but I'm uncertain whether they come from BF or just one of DWM's comic artists. Does anyone have an issue to hand so that we could find out? --Revan\Talk 16:37, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

No, but I think Tangerine mentioned that it was a DWM artist. However, they likely had instruction from BF.--Skittles the hog-- Talk 16:41, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * The issue of whether the artist is BF or DWM is spurious. They're all publishing under license of the BBC, which is what matters to in-universe status. At the end of the day, it's licensed art, no matter who draws it. I think they're more in-universe than covers, because the comic artist is actually trying to represent the story in question. BF covers are, by the admission of people involved (like Lisa Bowerman) little more than photos of actors.

However, there are ones that depict scenes and then there are promotional ones.--Skittles the hog-- Talk 18:43, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

For the purposes we would use them for I don't see why that should matter, we mainly use the images for infoboxes to represent a character who otherwise can not be seen visually. --Revan\Talk 18:45, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
