Monstrous Beauty (comic story)

 was a Doctor Who Magazine comic story that served as their entry in the multi-medium Time Lord Victorious story arc.

The story marked the Ninth Doctor's introduction into the arc, as well as his return to a DWM comic strip since his last regular appearance in A Groatsworth of Wit, and also saw the DWM return of Rose Tyler since her last regular appearance in The Green-Eyed Monster. Furthermore, it was also the first strip in just under two decades to not star the concurrent incarnation of the Doctor (excluding stories where the Doctor does not appear at all).

The first chapter of the story is unique in that it was not published within the magazine itself, but in a supplementary publication released alongside it.
