A 40th birthday is a good excuse to look over your shoulder at where you’ve been, and that’s one of the aims of this Doctor Who Magazine supplement. But that wasn’t the only reason we asked Jo Hillman to dedicate herself to the epic task of compiling this index. We commissioned this wide-reaching survey largely because nothing like it already exists, either in print or on the internet. It’s something we’ll be referring to all the time in the DWM office, and it’s something that we think could transform your collection of back issues into a useful reference library.
A brief note about what you will – and won’t – find in the following pages. This is an overview of Doctor Who Magazine, its predecessors (namely Doctor Who Weekly and Doctor Who Monthly) and the associated titles published by Marvel UK and Panini since 1979.
