Because the first 200 issues of DWM are easily accessable on Archive (Doctor Who Magazine Archive : Doctor Who Magazine : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive), I thought it would to get discussions going on each issue. Be it about the comics, articles, short stories, how fandom has changed over the last 30-45 years, etc. This thread is specifically for DWM #11.
I’ve got a question. In the “Who Cares” letter page, there are often pictures of fans. At first I thought they were the individuals writing the printed letters, but then quickly realized that the names didn’t match up. Was it common for people to send photos to magazies like this? It just seems very odd to me to just have random pictures of kids.

I have to say it seems unusual to me. You would normally send in a letter or maybe a drawing to a comic or magazine. But not normally a photo of yourself, unless maybe it was somehow Doctor Who related. Maybe the editors asked for people to send in photos just to fill the page.
