DWM 44
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The 44th issue of Doctor Who Magazine was published in September 1980. It was the first issue in the new monthly run and the cover insignia was changed to "Doctor Who - A Marvel Monthly". The change was made to increase sales per issue, making the title more economically viable.
