# Second Doctor comic stories

The Second Doctor comic stories is a range of offscreen adventures featuring the second incarnation of the Doctor, the hero of BBC 1's longrunning science fiction series Doctor Who. They initially appeared in TV Comic.

## History

The TV Comic version of the First Doctor had had as companions John and Gillian. In 1966, when the Doctor changed his appearance on television and in comics, TV Comic has these characters traveling with the "new" Doctor. They were soon replaced with Jamie McCrimmon, to better match televised Doctor Who.
After the concluding Second Doctor television series aired, The War Games, TV Comic continued to print comics featuring the Second Doctor. The stories followed on from the end of that serial, in which the Doctor's people, the Time Lords had exiled him to the 20th century and deemed that he should change his appearance. These stories ignored the second part of the sentence and had the Second Doctor living on Earth with his old body, at least until the concluding story, in which agents of the Time Lords forced the Doctor to regenerate.
Fans would later use these stories as evidence for a fan theory concerning "Season 6B", first discussed for a wide audience in the 1995 episode guidebook The Discontinuity Guide written by Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping.
The Second Doctor has returned for comics printed in Doctor Who Magazine, IDW Publishing and Titan Comics.
