The Widow's Curse was the twelfth volume of the Panini Publishing series of Doctor Who Magazine comic collections, and the second to feature the Tenth Doctor. It included those Tenth Doctor DWM strips from the middle of his run, and gave DWM's take on Martha Jones and Donna Noble.

It was the first chance readers had of seeing the original version of the comics since they were first published in DWM in 2007 and 2008.

- A hardback edition of this graphic novel was included with a premium subscription of The Complete History.
- A placeholder cover was used prior to release, featuring different artwork.
