Doctor Who Poster Magazines
Doctor Who Poster Magazine was a short-lived, mid-1990s publication from the Marvel publishers of Doctor Who Magazine, which ran to only 8 issues.
The final two issues offered a different approach to the former, more generic offerings, in that they covered a specific television story, which was told using supporting fictional documents. However, this later attempt at reformatting failed to reverse the series' sales slump, and the magazine folded before it could publish issue 9 it remains unknown as to which story this would have been about.
