Additional details

 * Following the success of the Doctor's comic strip adventures in the UK's Doctor Who Magazine and the trial period in Marvel Premiere, 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 this title were cleaned up, with many being presented in full colour for the first time.
 * Specially commissioned artwork for this issue was provided by Steve Parkhouse and Paul Neary.
 * The reprinted comic strip material in this issue is once more sourced in this publication.
 * This is the penultimate issue.
 * Comment in this issue states that;
 * Poor sales are largely responsible for the cancellation of this title. 'Doctor Who' is only sold at selected outlets and by subscription. Sales have been dropping and as a result fewer issues have been printed. "A great many of the Doctor's followers are simply unaware that [this] comic book exists, or they simply don’t know where to find us."
