Polystyle Publications Ltd. During a production run which lasted from 1971 to 1973 the comic's title changed frequently, with the Doctor Who strip appearing in almost every edition.
Although Polystyle ceased to publish a Doctor Who comic strip in 1973[citation needed] it retained the rights until 1979, effectively banishing the character and his adversaries from the medium for five years.
Marvel UK subsequently obtained the rights in 1979 and immediately made use of them by including a comic strip featuring the Daleks in the first issue of its new Doctor Who Weekly magazine.
Financial problems resulted in Marvel's Doctor Who Weekly becoming a monthly publication from September 1980.
Comic strips were retained as a regular feature, with the Daleks making an appearance at irregular intervals.
The story features the first comic strip appearance of the New Series Dalek design, as seen in the Doctor Who television programme from 2005 onward.
