Dr Who's Time Tales was a regular feature of early editions of Doctor Who Weekly from issue 30 to 43 (excluding issue 38) which replaced the regular reprinting of adapted classic science-fiction tales under the heading Tales from the TARDIS.

Dr Who's Time Tales reused previous comic strip material that had been used in other US Marvel Comics titles and were largely offered as cheaper filler material in the early issues which, when the editor was Dez Skinn, were more comic strip story heavy.

Dr Who's Time Tales were all untitled stories (with the opening and closing frames having been redrawn for each story)and being related to the reader by the Fourth Doctor.
