Months

Artwork	Month	Title	Description
	January	Cybermen	The Cyberleader surveys the barren landscape of the Death Zone on Gallifrey, anticipating the downfall of the Time Lords. But even these emotionless and ruthless beings are mere pawns in this particular game.
	February	The Sixth Doctor	The Doctor in his latest colourful regeneration looks confidently to his future — and his past — lying as it does amongst the stars and mysteries of the universe.
	March	The Tardis in the Matrix	The Doctor's Tardis (his constant companion and method of time travel) hovers amidst the Matrix wherein lies the complete knowledge and power of Gallifrey accessible only to the President.
	April	Davros	Obsessed with a desire to genetically engineer his creation, the Daleks, to a state of utter perfection, Davros sits poised to unleash yet further evil upon an unsuspecting populace. He, the arch scientist of Skaro, must survive, must succeed...!
	May	The Dark Tower of Gallifrey	The Dark Tower wherein lies the tomb of Rassilon. First of the Time Lords, rises ominously from the Death Zone, cast into near silhouette by the Callifreyan sunset. It provides the location for the gripping end of The Five Doctors saga.
	June	The Fifth Doctor	The youngest regeneration of the Doctor, he gazes with a mixture of innocence and confidence across a universe where not all its inhabitants share his concern for justice and a better future for all.
	July	The Gravis: Frontios	Pictured here against the cursed planet of Frontios under meteorite bombardment, the Gravis, leader of the Tractators (a race occupying the planet) made a futile bid to control both the planet and the fifth Doctor's Tardis.
	August	The Raston Warrior Robot	A killing machine of complete perfection it sends a javelin-like weapon flashing through the air. With built-in armaments and sensors to detect any movement it is about to destroy an entire Cyber patrol in mere seconds as they attempt to advance on the Dark Tower of Gallifrey.
	September	The Tomb of the Cybermen	From the story of the same name, this ice covered symbol is instantly recognised as belonging to those ancient enemies of the universe, the Cybermen. Above lie their frozen forms awaiting a series of events that will revive them to once more conquer and convert.
	October	The Fourth Doctor	With his eccentric flamboyance and an infectious grin that would warm the very heart of the coldest galaxy, he is probably the best remembered regeneration of the Doctor. His concern with the most trivial of items at a moment of extreme danger can best be recalled by the mention of a single obscure terrestial [sic] sweet — jelly babies!
	November	The Giant Robot	The first challenge to face the fourth Doctor was a hapless robotic invention misused by its maker. Distorted in size and mind it went out of control bent on destruction and had to be destroyed by the reluctant Doctor.
	December	Dalek Destruction	A Dalek, hideous in its final moments, is torn apart in a blistering burst of flame. A single entity of this cruel race faced by the Doctor in all his regenerations has met its match. This particular scarf has made the Dalek too warm — dangerously warm...
