The magazine was born as ''Doctor Who Weekly'', published by the UK branch of [[Marvel Comics]] in mid-October 1979. The first issue arrived on newsstands midway through broadcast of ''[[City of Death (TV story)|City of Death]]'', and [[Tom Baker]] spent some time promoting it while in the midst of production of the ultimately cancelled ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''. At this time, a weekly comic was still a popular format in the United Kingdom. ''Doctor Who Weekly''{{'}}s initial cover price was 12 pence, at the time roughly equivalent to 25 American cents. | The magazine was born as ''Doctor Who Weekly'', published by the UK branch of [[Marvel Comics]] in mid-October 1979.

From the very beginning, occasional magazine issues have featured special [[Free gifts (Doctor Who Magazine)|bonus items and inserts]]. The first few issues in 1979 came with free transfers and many issues have come packaged with posters and other paraphernalia. These premiums have become less frequent in recent years, but still occur at least a couple times a year. | From the very beginning, occasional magazine issues have featured special [[Free gifts (Doctor Who Magazine)|bonus items and inserts]].
