Third Doctor comic stories

The Third Doctor comic stories is a range of offscreen adventures featuring the third incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the hit sc-fi series, Doctor Who.

History

During the early 1970s, the adventures of the Third Doctor in comic mainly ran in two similar formats, TV Comic and Countdown, and as with every incarnation of the Doctor, the Third Doctor featured in Doctor Who Annuals.

Due to the Third Doctor's exile on Earth for most of his tenure, these comics are notable for including UNIT in a large number of stories, in particular, UNIT's founder and the Doctor's sidekick, The Brigadier, with adventures featuring just them as principal characters being set between Inferno and Terror of the Autons.

Following The Three Doctors, which saw the Doctor's exile lifted, the comics were allowed to expand, taking the Doctor on new adventures across time and space.
