| - Some accounts held that John and Gillian were real, corporeal beings. According to these, John and Gillian first met their grandfather in 1960s England. They knew he was some kind of inventor, but had evidently never seen him or travelled with him when they found the TARDIS in an empty yard. They entered and he acknowledged them as John and Gillian. During their visit, John playfully touched a button on the console and the TARDIS took them to the 30th century, where they helped the Thains defeat the invading Kleptons. (COMIC: The Klepton Parasites) John and Gillian travelled with the Doctor on many adventures, fighting enemies such as Captain Anastas Thrax (COMIC: The Hijackers of Thrax), the Zarbi (COMIC: On the Web Planet), the Gyros robots (COMIC: The Gyros Injustice) the Pied Piper (COMIC: Challenge of the Piper) and the Trods. (COMIC: Beware the Trods!) The Doctor parted company from them, but reunited with them in his second incarnation. From their perspective, little time had passed. They resumed their adventures and fought other enemies, including the Daleks and the Cybermen, until they reached their teen years, when the Doctor enrolled them in university on Zebadee to keep them safe from the Quarks. (COMIC: Invasion of the Quarks) John eventually became a professor and wrote a memo on the dangers of the Trods to Colonel Marc Forest of Special Space Security. At this time, John styled himself "Professor John Who". (COMIC: Beware the Trods!)
