IDW (US) Comics Publication Dates

IDW
started publishing Doctor Who comics in December 2007. This page is a
timeline of all issues, going backwards in time (of course!). Where an
'unpublicised' cover is indicated, it means it was not represented on
the inside cover of that issue as a known cover.

Comment
December
2013 saw the last Doctor Who comics from IDW Publishing when the association
between IDW and BBC Worldwide came to an end. The licence to publish
new Doctor Who comics was won by Titan,
and I had hoped that the practice of 'retailer incentive' and 'retailer
exclusive' covers would not be continued by them. Unfortunately it appears
the practice is to continue.
In its time, IDW published only 144 Doctor Who comics (not including the compilation graphic novels) but there were 342 different covers - for the dedicated fan and collector, this was just too much to spend. The last three issues of 'Prisoners of Time' alone comprised of 21 covers between them! I managed to get all of the IDW comics in the end (the last acquired as late as September 2014), and it was tough trying to source them all (or afford them for that matter) due to deliberate targeting of collectors in making some so rare that not every collector is ever going to have a full collection. It didn't help matters that three* of the 'exclusive' covers were not publicised on the inside front cover like all the other covers. To my knowledge, the timeline below is now complete, having discovered yet another 'exclusive' published in November 2013 for the blu-ray seven seasons boxed set! * Unpublicised exclusive covers were... Ongoing Volume 3 No 5 (The Who Shop), Prisoners of Time No 1 (Dynamic Forces) and Prisoners of Time No 4 (Ottawa Comic Con 2013). |
