In 1979, this was used as Doctor Who would enter into the comic world in the United States as part of Marvel Premiere.  The comic was gobbled up and proved to be a success as easily as the fact that Doctor Who was a success in the US and Canada. The following year would see Marvel create a Doctor Who comic book, which ran from 1980 to 1983, using old Doctor Who Weekly , Monthly, and old Doctor Who magazine comic strips. In 1984, Doctor Who Magazine, the one we know at present, would hit magazine racks in the US and Canada.
