Although Doctor Who had been off-air for more than three years by the start of 1993, DWM was in good health in the run-up to its 200th issue. There was a celebratory mood in the air, as the show itself was marking its 30th anniversary, and every issue during the year featured a 30th anniversary insignia.
The 200th issue was commemorated by a special gatefold cover featuring all seven Doctors, painted by Alister Pearson.
