'''The Monsters of Doctor Who''' was a segment in [[Doctor Who Weekly]] by [[G. Blows]] that first featured in [[DWM 1]].
{{real world}}
'''''The Monsters of Doctor Who''''' was one of the original features of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' from its inception in [[1979 (releases)|1979]]. It was a series of non-fiction articles written by [[Gordon Blows]] and [[B. Aldrich]].<ref>Most instalments of the series were unattributed. The feature was credited to [[B. Aldrich]] and [[G. Blows]] in [[DWM 1]] and to [[Gordon Blows]] alone in [[DWM 2]] and [[DWM 5]].</ref>


Each instalment of the series focused on a particular monster or villain from ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and presented the in-universe history of its subject as well as occasionally providing behind-the-scenes details about their creation or appearances in the programme. The feature ranged from two to three pages in length and the text was always accompanied by multiple black-and-white photographs.
Every one of the first twelve issues of ''Doctor Who Magazine'' featured an instalment of ''The Monsters of Doctor Who'', with the exception of [[DWM 8]] in which it was replaced by an article by [[Richard Hollis]] on the [[Peter Cushing]] films. Beginning with [[DWM 13]], the publication's articles began to approach a broader range of topics, with [[DWM 18]] containing the final one which could be considered part of the original series.
