The famous fiction about science television series Doctor Who, which started in 1963, developed into a multi-platform brand under BBC management.

The show tells the story of the adventures of the Time Lord, or Doctor, a space alien with human-like features.

The Doctor’s spaceship, the Tardis, a blue British police box that is much larger within it, carried him through time and space.

These events are shared with a buddy or helper, usually a human character, who serves as the doctor’s moral guide, aids in the fight against enemies, and provides aid to those in need.

We’re going to talk about the Doctor Who comic book published by Titan Comics today. They got the license in 2014 and have since published a great deal of stories, most of which are about the Doctor in his current avatars, though there are also some classic Doctors and crossovers!

Titans Comics has tried to make the Whovian universe understandable for all readers, regardless of experience level.
