DOCTOR WHO IN TV COMIC ANNUAL...


Copyright BBC TV

The new DOCTOR WHO series starts tonight, so as a starter course, here's a four page strip drawn by PATRICK WILLIAMS from the TV COMIC Annual for 1968.  That conveyor belt must have been moving at a speed of an inch an hour for the Mammoths to rescue him in time, and the Doc remains coldly unmoved when one apparently comes a cropper at the hands of the TRODS, who were obvious stand-ins for the DALEKS.  He was also surely a little cavalier in luring them into danger in the first place, which is somewhat at odds with his TV persona of the time.  Anyway - enjoy!

    Although I didn't have this annual, I have seen Page 1, panel 2 somewhere before ( perhaps Altered Vistas ).
    Somebody, somewhere described the Trods as, "....like the Daleks, but not scary! " - which just about sums them up!

    Anything to save on the fee for using the Daleks, I suppose, JP.
