The Fifth Doctor comic stories is a collection of the off-screen adventures of the fifth incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the television series Doctor Who.
Doctor Who Monthly (later renamed Doctor Who Magazine) launched the Fifth Doctor's comic strip adventures [1] with the Doctor travelling on his own. Later a number of new and familiar characters were included. While most of the adventures occur within their own continuity, direct references to the television series make placing these adventures into on-screen continuity problematic.
While Doctor Who Magazine mostly used the current personification of the Doctor in the regular comic strip adventures, Fifth Doctor comic strip stories appeared from time to time in the regular magazine, specials and in other publications after his television retirement. The Fifth Doctor comics have been reprinted in paperback book format by an Italian publisher, Panini Comics. [2]
