Spam Filtered (comic story)

Spam Filtered was used to kick off Doctor Who (2011). It featured the newly-married Amy Pond and Rory Williams in an adventure with the Eleventh Doctor. Notably, it heralded multi-Eisner Award-winning artist Mark Buckingham's first work for Doctor Who, He drew one of the retailer's incentive covers for the issue — specifically RIB, pictured below. This story didn't have a proper title on its release. The title was given some months after by the author Tony Lee.

Cover gallery
The retailer's incentive A cover was unusual for IDW, but it's hard to illustrate in a static photo. It featured the exterior of the TARDIS split down the middle. When the reader pulled open the doors it revealed the interior TARDIS scene pictured below was the "RIA cover". In essence, the cover was "bigger on the inside".

Timeline
