The Monster Upstairs was a Doctor Who Adventures comic story featuring the Tenth Doctor and Violet Hopley.

Summary

Earth, England, Christmas is ruined for the Hopley family when Violet Hopley is kidnapped by Extron, who is being hunted by the Doctor. With an innocent family dragged into a battle that he started, the Doctor is determined to rescue Violet and stop Extron's evil schemes.

Extron is growing stronger. The Doctor must fight across a doomed planet to return a little girl home before Christmas.

Characters

Worldbuilding

The Judoon are mentioned as having cost the Extron its body.
Melissa Hopley told her her daughter to fetch the magazine with Johnny Depp on the cover.

Notes

The DWA comic strip adventures were aimed at a younger audience and the artwork and colours were bold and bright, reflecting the tone of the magazine.
Self contained, one part stories were the norm in the early issues, later being expanded to two-parters.
