The Age of Chaos was the first comic story originally produced in full colour by Marvel UK. It predated the advent of colour in the main Doctor Who Magazine comic strip by almost seven years (although several colorized versions of the strip had been reprinted since the mid-1980s).
It was also the only occasion on which Marvel printed a single, original, novel-length Doctor Who story. Previous efforts like The Dalek Chronicles and Abslom Daak — Dalek Killer were lengthy, but were comprised of several different stories, none of them original to the volume. In fact, until the publication of The Dalek Project in 2009, The Age of Chaos was the only example of an original, purpose-made graphic novel in Doctor Who comic history, despite the advertising claims seen on various collected editions of Doctor Who Magazine strips.
It was also the first, and so far only, comic strip written by an actor who played the Doctor on televised Doctor Who. Colin Baker's authorship of the story nearly doubled the number of comic panels that had been devoted to his incarnation of the Doctor.
The story itself served as a kind of coda to The Trial of a Time Lord, in that it centered around the Doctor and Frobisher's quest to figure out what happened to Peri after she married King Yrcanos. (DW: The Ultimate Foe)
