Further Information

 * After noticing the popularity of Doctor Who related content in the Marvel UK magazine Starburst, the then editor Dez Skin created Doctor Who Weekly.
 * The main comic strip (featuring the Doctor) was to be treated as serious science-fiction and not as juvenille adventures as previously had appeared in Polystyles TV Comic.
 * The supporting comic strip presented under the heading `Tales From the TARDIS' featured previously issued material with opening and closing boxes redrawn and tailored specifically for inclusion in the pages of Doctor Who Weekly.
 * Unlike previous Doctor Who comic strips the lead character was to be referred to as `the Doctor' and not `Doctor Who'.
 * This Fantastic First issue had free transfers selotaped to the cover that could be used on Dave Gibbon's full-colour page panoras on the inside cover.
 * The photo-file feature on William Hartnell carries a note that reads "to the memory of whom this first issue is respectfully dedicated."
