These all come from Doctor Who Magazine which began as a Marvel UK publication in 1979 and has continued to this day, even as the TV show was cancelled for a couple of decades. It is currently published by Panini, who bought Marvel UK during the parent company's bankruptcy, and some of the stories have been collected in a similar format, or in the American comic book format, over the decades.
