- You may be looking for the in-universe magazine or the magazine from a meta-fiction universe.
The 1st issue of Doctor Who Weekly had a cover date of 17 October 1979 and came with free transfers.
Doctor Who Weekly was created after editor Dez Skinn noticed the popularity of Doctor Who-related content in the Marvel UK magazine Starburst. The first issue was printed five months after TVC 1430, the final TV Comic issue to feature Who material. The weekly magazine would run every Thursday.
Being the first issue of the longest running TV tie-in magazine of all-time, the image of the front-cover is considered to be well-known. This has often been recreated or referenced in follow-up or anniversary issues. In issue 283, which celebrated the magazine's 20th anniversary, the comic story TV Action! showed the Eighth Doctor visiting the "real world" (a parallel universe) on the day of the first issue's release.
DWM 400, released in October 2008, included a poster featuring David Tennant's Tenth Doctor reading issue 1, parodying the picture of Tom Baker reading the issue. It also included an interview in which Tennant claimed to still have his transfers. DWM 500 directly recreated the cover image with a photograph of Peter Capaldi, in costume as the Twelfth Doctor, and a 2005 era Dalek prop, going as far as to include stickers of the Doctor in place of the original transfers.
