Annuals

'''Note: The date on the cover (when there is one) is always that of the year following publication. '''

Doctor Who and related annuals are hardcover books that consist mostly of text stories, features, puzzles and games. Some include an occasional comic strip or strips.

The first Doctor Who-related annual was The Dalek Book, the first of three Dalek Annuals published by Souvenir Press and Panther Books between 1964 and 1966. Between 1965 and 1985, twenty-eight Doctor Who Annuals were published by World Distributors (later World International). In addition to the twenty 'regular' Doctor Who Annuals, there were also four Terry Nation's Dalek Annuals, a K9 Annual, and three reprint volumes - The Amazing World of Doctor Who, Adventures in Time and Space, and Journey Through Time.

Doctor Who Annuals were restarted in 2005 with the renewal of the television series, and are currently being published.

Marvel published five Doctor Who Yearbooks between 1991 and 1995, and Panini published the first Doctor Who Storybook in 2006.

In 2008, Titan Books released the first Torchwood Yearbook.

In 2010, Idea and Design Works Comics (IDW) released the Doctor Who Annual 2010. Being a US publication, the date on the cover is the same as the year of publication. This softcover annual is essentially a graphic novel, containing only comic strips and no text stories or features.
