[Doctor Omega]

I loved The Iron Legion when it debuted in Doctor Who Weekly. It got endlessly reprinted after that. I liked all of those initial runs in the weekly and early days of the Monthly.

including those - yet to be reprinted - spotlight tales, at the back of the comic, featuring those probably copyright breaking monsters in their own strips, with no Doctor in sight....

I didn't read Doctor Who Magazine often enough to follow the strips. I do have the reprints in comic form of the strips that Grant Morrison wrote. Frobisher needs to be introduced to the show.

I've got many of the early issues of DOCTOR WHO Weekly and Monthly, not to mention several comics...

As for Frobisher...

 

[chainsaw_metal1]

Frobisher for the win!!!

 

[Doctor Omega]

And the adorable Beep the Meep of course.....

 

[Doctor Omega]

I also liked the Eighth Doctor comic strip, Children of the Revolution, which acted as a sequel to The Evil of the Daleks....

 

[ant-mac]

I was always rather partial to THE NEUTRON KNIGHTS with the fourth Doctor, THE TIDES OF TIME with the fifth Doctor and the various adventures of Kroton the Cyberman. I also liked various comic strips that featured the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Great Intelligence and the Nestene Consciousness without any Doctor being present.

The World Shapers (1986)

Continuity madness!

And then there was Jamie!

 

[chainsaw_metal1]

I loved that the Time Lords hadn't properly erased Jamie's mind, and he still remembered The Doctor. It was a nice end for his story.

 

[Doctor Omega]

Yes, because I read it before the glut of novels and spin offs etc, it was still good enough to be canon to me.

And I agree, I liked the fact that the Doctor had taught him a thing or two about fighting hypnotism.

And I thought the Mondas/Marinus, Cybermen/Voord thing was clever too.

Your thoughts, views and memories of this publication that has journeyed alongside fandom since 1979!

 

[Doctor Omega]

I can't read the current issues for free anymore.

It's always in a bag!

 

[The Seeker]

I like the special editions! Otherwise I wouldn't buy them all.

It's in a bag now? Phooey. Would your library have it perchance?

 

[Doctor Omega]

It has reached the point now where I would only want to read the Classic Who stuff in it, so not worth buying beyond that for me.

Sadly my library has never stocked it.

 

[Doctor Omega]

The multiple covers that they do nowadays went beyond a joke too....

Okay, maybe the above example was forgivable, but often the variants were/are just silly and greedy.

 

[Doctor Omega]

I have never read this...

I wonder if it is any good. A magazine devoted to Doctor Who Magazine....

 

[chainsaw_metal1]

The closest place for me to get it is at my LCS, and since my financial situation has drastically cut my comic book spending, I usually don't get in to pick it up. That, and for the most part, if there's something I really want to read in it, someone will have posted it online somewhere. I will still pick up the occasional issue, if there's something I really want to read in it. I've never heard of Vroop Vroop. Sounds...interesting?

 

[Doctor Omega]

I loved the back up comic strips in the earlier issues featuring the more iconic monsters in solo tales....

I wish that they would publish them in an omnibus volume. I think it is copyright issues that have prevented this so far....

 

[chainsaw_metal1]

Yeah, the only reprints I have ever come across were the two issues of Grant Morrison stories. Frobisher!
