A Cold Day in Hell! (graphic novel)

 was the eleventh volume of the Panini Publishing series of Doctor Who Magazine comic collections, and the first to feature the Seventh Doctor. In included only the very earliest Seventh Doctor DWM strips, in which the Doctor was mainly travelling without a companion. That said, the volume contained the final regular story with Frobisher and a brief dalliance with a short-lived companion named Olla. For fans of the wider Marvel UK "universe" of the 1980s and early 1990s, it's probably more notable for the fact that it contains the original Seventh Doctor/Death's Head crossover and for the Doctor's later encounter with Keepsake, a character who wold recur in the pages of Death's Head (1988).

Like all in the series, it was notable for its high quality digital restoration of the comics. It was the first chance readers had of seeing the original, monochromatic version of the comics since they were first published in DWM in the late 1980s.

It was originally scheduled as the first of a series of Seventh Doctor volumes. This was so entirely expected, that even the promotion text on the book suggests it's only the "first volume" of Seventh Doctor strips. In the event, however, Panini stopped publication of the whole line before further Seventh Doctor editions could be published.
