Dr. Who's Time Tales was a regular feature of early editions of Doctor Who Weekly from issue 30 to 43, excluding issue 38. Each comic featured the Fourth Doctor telling, introducing, and concluding a time tale, in reality a reformatted version of a comic strip that was created for other US Marvel Comics titles. Like Tales from the TARDIS, which Time Tales replaced, this was used by editor Dez Skinn as cheap filler material for the magazines.

In contrast to Tales from the TARDIS, however, the Time Tales were short, one-part stories rather than serialised. The titles of the original American stories were additionally not retained, either on the title page or in the table of contents.
