Doctor Who Magazine comic issues

 

Doctor Who Weekly started in 1979 published as a weekly comic by Marvel UK. Several of the 2000AD writers and artists worked on the early issues including John Wagner, Pat Mills, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Dave Gibbons and Mike McMahon.

 

With issue 44 is switched to being monthly rather than weekly.  The early issues are thin and cheap to post being the usual Marvel UK format roughly A4 sized.

 

At issue 456 they moved to a taller wider format which is also very heavy and costs more to post going into 500g large letter size.
