Doctor Who Magazine's 2012 issues spanned from issue 443 to issue 455 and were published every four weeks by Panini Comics.

Tom Spilsbury continued as editor of the magazine.

Issue 443 saw a return to the regular cover price of four pounds 50 pence (£4.50) for 84 pages for the remainder of the year following the 100 page Christmas Special issue 442.

A major interview with Robert Banks Stewart in issue 443 saw the first release of the year to feature variant covers. Both covers featured the Fourth Doctor, but with luminous orange lettering for a Terror of the Zygons theme and green for The Seeds of Doom.

Issue 444 followed the recent decade cover themes of 60s and 70s with a 80s theme and Sophie Aldred (Ace) interview. Also cover noteworthy is the flash reading “The world’s No1 top selling sci-fi monthly magazine” that would feature throughout the year.

With news that the Series 7 episode Asylum of the Daleks will feature every type of Dalek ever seen on screen, issue 447 featured a special fold out cover (by Gavin Rymill) with no less than nineteen different Daleks and an identification guide inset.

Issue 450 with an increased cover price to £4.99 (UK), was a bumper 100 page issue that featured a tribute to actress Caroline John who played companion Liz Shaw as well as a number of Patrick Troughton weighted features.

Premiums offered to readers this year included;
