Tales from the TARDIS was a regular Doctor Who Weekly feature of comic adaptations of classic works of literary science fiction. The Tales ran from issues 1 through 29, after which they were replaced by Dr Who's Time Tales.

The comics, originally printed as full-length stories in Marvel Comics' American Marvel Classics Comics title, were broken up into five-page chapters, with the opening frames and narration of each chapter altered to include the Fourth Doctor. This was done by the Weekly's editor, Dez Skinn, as a cost-effective alternative to commissioning original comics material.
