Eisner Award-Winning Spider-Man writer Dan Slott makes his Doctor Who debut.

In order to survive the fiery Pyromeths, Martha Jones must spin three sensational yarns about the Tenth Doctor and his greatest adventures with old and new foes alike!


An epic story that sees companion Martha Jones captured by the insatiable Pyromeths, and her only hope for survival is to keep them distracted with sensational untold tales of the Tenth Doctor facing off against his greatest foes--both classic and new!

Witness the incredible adventures of the Tenth Doctor like never-before! You’ll be on the edge of your Tardis as Martha recounts three unbelievable tales of The Doctor facing off against his deadliest foes!

Dan Slott’s incredible Doctor Who comics debut reveals his love for the franchise, featuring cameos from multiple Doctors and their enemies, including the Daleks and Cybermen! Fans will also delight at the special bonus story starring the Ninth Doctor and Rose!

Bursting straight out of the long-running hit television series, this Doctor Who collection continues the time-traveling tales of the Doctor and friends.

“The story is packed with cameos from some of our favourite Doctors, companions, friends, and foes, and reads a little like a season finale or special.” Doctor Who Magazine

“Letting Dan Slott play in the Whoniverse has created magic for the Tenth Doctor and Martha - and us readers! Once Upon A Time Lord is thrillingly adventurous, sparklingly witty and very clever too! This cameo-packed debut Doctor Who comic from Dan Slott has us very excited for the rest of his Time Lord adventures!” Doctor Who Corner to Corner podcast

“Both stories combine a loving recreation of the show with a great understanding of this medium … you can almost smell the paper-based nostalgia.” Blogtor Who

“Dan Slott is one of the most respected and prolific comic writers working right now … he’s telling a Doctor Who story that can only be told in comics.” Den of Geek

“Slott’s script balances everything with elegance … if his first dive into the Whoniverse is anything to go by, we can’t wait to see what’s next.” Starburst Magazine

“It was the Doctor who’d once declared: “We’re all stories in the end, just make it a good one, eh?”. By that measure, it must be said Slott has delivered handsomely on that front, giving us not just one but two good stories, weaving together so many past elements in a fresh and invigorating way.” Set the Tape

“Doctor Who: Once Upon A Time Lord deserves its place on every Whovians bookshelf. It’s a fast-paced powerhouse of a tale that’s beautifully illustrated and incredibly well written.” DC Comics News

“A perfect understanding of its characters, fantastic artwork, and a Greatest Hits abundance of Doctor Who monsters.” AIPT

“Dan Slott brings us a fun story with a few clever twists and turns that reference classic stories from the past of Doctor Who.” SciFi Pulse

“It is a collectors item for a Who fan.” SF Book Reviews

“Once Upon a Time Lord is a brilliant opening salvo for Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary celebrations this November, celebrating both the classic and modern eras of the show.” Pop Culture Bandit

“[Doctor Who: Once Upon a Time Lord] really does feel like a celebration of the show.” SciFi Bulletin
