Is this frickin' Doctor Who? Can someone please educate me?

- Indeed it is. Doctor Who appeared in his own Marvel comic in the UK (which crossed over with a number of other titles, as Marvel comics always seem to do). Actually, it might be more accurate to say "magazine with some comic content" (Doctor Who Weekly). The comic is the primary source for a few characters in the Doctor Who extended universe (such as Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer) and he also has crossed paths from time to time with more mainstream, Earth-616 characters. The Doctor Who listing at internationalhero confirms that he's a Marvel character, and he also has a listing at the Unofficial Appendix. While reading over the All New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, I saw him mentioned once or twice in other character's profiles as "the doctor", but would have never caught it if I hadn't seen pages like this first. I'd recommend going the "Conan" route and mentioning only the events published in Marvel magazines, with just enough background to make it all make sense. (Either that, or in the one or two places we need to mention "the doctor", just have the page say "Doctor who? That's right!") --WhyBother 11:02, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I would definitely agree, the 'Conan' route sounds best.

Creator list
I corrected the list of creators. The original series was devised by Sydney Newman and CE Webber, with the support of BBC programming director Donald Wilson. Verity Lambert is only considered a creator due to the fact she was the show's producer. Anthony Coburn wrote the first storyline. 23skidoo 16:58, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
Duly noted, and 100% correct.Tony ingram 17:05, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
Time War
Technically, shouldn't the bit about the last great time war be deleted, since that happened in the modern series, long after Marvel stopped publishing the Doctor back in the 90s?--MutantMenace 07:33, June 1, 2012 (UTC)
I would agree with that. I don't really think the History section should contain anything after the early eighth Doctor stories, which were the last ones published under the Marvel UK banner. Admittedly, the Gallery page shows images of all of the Doctors, but that's really just for the sake of completism. Tony ingram 07:41, June 1, 2012 (UTC)
