The series was launched on 23 July 2014, coinciding with the launch of Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor. To promote both series, a Doctor Who Comic Day event was held on 26 July.[1] Titan also publishes a Twelfth Doctor series, and began publishing a Ninth Doctor series in 2015.
Previously, IDW held the licence to produce an American comic book series based on the show.
The material used in this title and Titan's Twelfth Doctor and Eleventh Doctor titles are combined into a single UK publication called Doctor Who Comic, which launched on 26 February 2015.[3]
The series debuted with a number of variants available with different retailers, a number of which correspond with one for Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor. A cover gallery of variants for the first issue is printed in #2. Each issue has a variant for B (Pull-List variant) and C (limited Incentive variant; 1 copy is printed for every 10). Alice X. Zhang's cover to #2 (entitled "The Turn of the Universe") is available as a print from Big Chief Studios.
Collected editions
Hardback and paperback books were published collecting stories from the series, each book reprinting five issues for Years One and Two, and four issues for Year Three. Complete years were later published in hardback.
