[edit] Content

The magazine includes the latest news from the Torchwood set, cast and crew interviews,[4] behind-the-scenes features on the show's special effects, and ten pages of original Torchwood comic strip fiction.[5] The first few issues featured regular columns from Torchwood's lead writer Chris Chibnall and producer Richard Stokes. Issue 8 saw the introduction of an original piece of short prose every month. Issue 14 saw the magazine become a bi-monthly production with a larger page count.[6] Issue 25 will be the final issue.[7]
