Titan Comics has released an extended preview of Doctor Who – Missy #1, a fiftieth anniversary celebration of the debut of the Doctor’s longtime nemesis, which is on sale in comic shops and digitally from 14th April 2021.

Missy wages war on the Doctor, but this time she’s not alone! Can the combined brilliance of the Third and Twelfth Doctor avert her deadly scheme, or will she get her hands on a secret weapon capable of wreaking havoc on the universe?

Featuring more Doctors and Masters than ever before, this new series sees the first appearance in comics of the Twelfth Doctor’s arch-rival Missy (as played on TV by Michelle Gomez).

The Master, originally played by Roger Delgado, debuted in Terror of the Autons, first broadcast in January 1971 on BBC One. The role has since been played by numerous actors, including Anthony Ainley (1981–1989), Eric Roberts (1996, in the TV Movie), Derek Jacobi (2007), John Simm (2007–2010, 2017), Michelle Gomez (2014–2017) and Sacha Dhawan (2020–present).

The villainous Time Lord first appeared up in comic strips in a story called “The Glen of Sleeping” , featured in the weekly comic TV Action 107 – 111, published in 1973, and represented in a special supplement accompanying Doctor Who Magazine Issue 547, released last year.

Missy is written by Eisner-nominated writer Jody Houser (Stranger Things, Spider-Man), with art by Roberta Ingranata (Witchblade), coloured by Enrica Angiolini (Warhammer 40,000).

“I wrote a few pages of Missy way back in The Road to the Thirteenth Doctor,” says Jody, “and I’ve been dying to write more of her ever since. Her ineffable cunning and sense of fun make her the most delightful sort of monster.”

Doctor Who: Missy #1 will arrive in stores and on digital devices on 14th April 2021. You can pre-order Missy #1 ahead of its release in April 2021 (February Diamond Previews) from your local comic shop, from Forbidden Planet (UK & Europe), or digitally at Comixology
