The Time War was an integral part of Russell T. Davies’ 2005 Doctor Who revival, but legendary comic author Alan Moore first came up with the concept in 1981. Alan Moore, creator of such iconic graphic novels as Watchmen and V For Vendetta, cut his teeth writing back-up strips for Doctor Who Magazine. Moore wrote standalone stories that featured many of the Doctor’s foes, including the Cybermen, the Autons, and the Ice Warriors. However, his most influential work was a trilogy of strips that depicted the very early history of Doctor Who‘s Time Lord society.
