Prologue: The First Doctor (comic story)

Prologue: The First Doctor was one of nine prologue comics to the mini-series Supremacy of the Cybermen, published by Titan Comics.

Plot[]

Susan Foreman is running home to 76 Totter's Lane, fearing that she is being followed by two people in a car. When she arrives home, she finds the Doctor on his knees, surrounded by three CyberMondans. He screams at her to run away.

Characters[]

Worldbuilding[]

Susan walks past an advertisement for Bovril.

Notes[]

This story was first published in 10DY2 12. It was reprinted in the 2016 Convention Special and the Supremacy of the Cybermen graphic novel.
This story depicts an alternate version of the events of the first episode of An Unearthly Child.
Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright briefly appear as silhouettes in the car following Susan.
Unlike Supremacy of the Cybermen, or the rest of its prologues, this story has an entirely monochrome colouring.

Continuity[]

This particular encounter between the First Doctor and the CyberMondans is the result of the mass invasion of time and space by an army of Cybermen at the end of the universe, who have allied with Rassilon. (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen)
Susan is being followed by Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright in a car. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
The Cybermen holding the First Doctor hostage resemble the CyberMondans that this incarnation will ultimately encounter at Snowcap at the end of his life. Anomalously, one Cyberman lacks the Cyber-gun on the underside of its chest unit. (TV: The Tenth Planet)
This encounter between the First Doctor and the Cybermen is ultimately erased from history when the Twelfth Doctor and a betrayed Rassilon use the Eye of Harmony on Gallifrey at the end of the universe, along with the Cyberiad's dominance across history, to undo the Cybermen's conquests across time and space. (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen)

Cyberman stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
