The Dr Who Annual

Spanning two decades from 1965 to 1985, World Distributors' The Dr Who Annual offered a distinct, off-screen take on the Doctor's adventures, separate from the television series. Produced primarily by writer-artist Paul Crompton, alongside regular contributors Walter Howarth and Mick Anglo, these 20 oversized volumes featured original comic strips and text stories that captured the spirit of the era. While not canonical, the annuals became a cherished part of fandom, providing fans a unique and often inventive glimpse into the Time Lord's travels during the classic series' prime.
