DOCTOR WHO HOLIDAY SPECIAL

In 1973 Polystyle published the first Doctor Who Holiday Special, reprinting some of their previously published TV21 Doctor Who strips alongside new material. The Doctor had previously appeared in several TV Comic Holiday Specials, but this was the first time Polystyle had given him a title to himself. The success of the first issue saw a second released a year later, but Polystyle then left it three years before publishing their next (and final) special, the Doctor Who Winter Special 1977. After Marvel UK took over the license in 1979, they began a more regular run of both Summer and Winter Specials.
