DOCTOR WHO TIME TRAVELS BACK TO THE 1970s...

Dr. WHO copyright BBC TV

There's a great free gift available with the February issue of

DOCTOR WHO MONTHLY (#508) - a complete adventure of

the good Doctor, first published in weekly instalments back in 1972.

The mag also contains an extremely entertaining and interesting in-

terview with TERRENCE DICKS, script editor during perhaps

the most popular decade in the BBC TV show's history.

  

Was it really 45 years ago I read these stories in the pages of

COUNTDOWN?  I guess so, but it only seems like a couple or so

years ago at most.  I've read them since then of course, in the pages

of DOCTOR WHO CLASSIC COMICS, published sometime in the

'90s.  In their latest reprinting, they're described as being 'cleaned up',

but whether it was executed for this outing or the previous one isn't

stated.  The pages do look good, but, oddly, the original spine

crease is still visible in the magazine's centrespread.

A minor oversight however, and don't let it put you off pur-

chasing this ish and reliving one of The Doctor's greatest comic

strip adventures featuring his greatest foes - The DALEKS!

Available now in FP, WHS, and all good newsagents.
