The fifth issue of The Essential Doctor Who was centred on the monsters of Doctor Who.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

"You are monsters! That is the role you seem determined to play, so it seems I must play mine!"

Horror has been Doctor Who's most constant genre since the Daleks first threatened viewers in 1963. The metal-cased mutants are still notorious, but the programme's shadows are occupied by equally grotesque and disturbing creatures.

This lavish publication reveals everything you need to know about the monsters that have been haunting our nightmares for more than 50 years.

Welcome to the dark side of Doctor Who...
