Doctor Who: A Marvel Monthly

Marvel UK’s Doctor Who: A Marvel Monthly ran for 17 issues from 1980 to 1982, chronicling the Doctor’s adventures alongside the grim, chainsword-wielding Abslom Daak. Anchored by writers Steve Moore, Steve Parkhouse, and Maxwell Stockbridge, with art from the likes of Dave Gibbons, Mick Austin, and Mike McMahon, this series gave British talent a vibrant showcase. It matters as a key early fusion of classic sci-fi TV with Marvel’s kinetic comic style, preserving the Fourth Doctor’s era in a distinctive, action-packed monthly format.
