The Doctor (not counting the Dell adaptation of the non canon Doctor Who and the Daleks film) made his first American comic appearance in Marvel Premiere 57#, Dec 1980. The story and art weren't original to this edition, but were taken from the UK comic Doctor Who Weekly issues 1, 2, 3, and 4. Marvel did add some supplementary art that was new to introduce the franchise including The Five Doctors (William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and non-canon Peter Cushing), Who is the Doctor (included an article explaining Doctor Who), TARDIS and K-9, and the Doctor's Most Fearsome Foes.
