Further Information

 * Following the initial success of the Doctor’s comic strip adventures in the UK’s Doctor Who Magazine (DWM) and the trial period in Doctor Who Marvel Premiere (Issues 57-60) (see Marvel Comics), this separate title was released in the USA and ran for 23 issues.
 * This all colour monthly title was priced $1.50 (US).
 * All the comic strips reprinted in DWUS were cleaned up with many being presented in full colour for the first.
 * Specially commissioned artwork for this issue was provided by Steve Parkhouse.
 * The reprinted comic strip material in this issue is once more sourced in this publication.
 * This is the final issue largely attributed to poor sales (see last issue), however ... at the San Diego Comic Con in July 2007, IDW publisher Chris Ryan announced plans to launch a new title in the USA featuring new comic strip material provided by Nick Roche featuring the Tenth Doctor, as well as the intention to recolour and reprint all the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip material... again!
