Doctor Who? (comic series)

Doctor Who? was a series of three panel created by Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett. It ran in Doctor Who Magazine from issue 64 through 225, with additional strips for the 350th and 500th issues.

The Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors all had rough "eras" that correlated to their television tenures. There were also many stories that did not feature the Doctor at all. The content of the stories also regularly shared similarities with the episodes of televised Doctor Who that were airing at the time and in later years, the contents of that issue of Doctor Who Magazine. For example, DWM 192 featured an archive feature on the 1972 story The Sea Devils with the Doctor Who? story of that issue centering around a lone Sea Devil.

In the entirety of the series' thirteen-year run, there were only two regular issues of Doctor Who Magazine that did not contain new instalments of the series. DWM 105 featured a reprint of DWM 103's story and DWM 217 featured no story at all. The series' original run was published in its entirety by Marvel Comics, with the two later one-off specials being published by Panini as a result of the latter obtaining the DWM licence from DWM 286 onwards.

Marvel's official stance is that this series is part of its Earth-33 1/3 universe.

During the time of the series' original run, Quinn and Howett produced other Doctor Who comic stories, some of which were mostly-serious while others were more parodic. Of particular note were The Doctor Who Fun Book and It's Bigger on the Inside! which were collections solely containing their work. In 2017, It's Even Bigger on the Inside was published which collated all Who content ever produced by the duo.

Specials
Although Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett produced a myriad of standalone comic strips elsewhere during the time Doctor Who? was running, there was often no indication that the stories were a part of the main series, leaving only two that were explicitly identified as such.
