Yes it’s hot on the heels of issue VI—kind of like the old saying about buses, you wait ages for one and then two come along right after each other. This gets Cosmic Masque onto its new schedule, with three issues throughout 2019, in March, June and September, with the Annual due De- cember/January. Celestial Toyroom continues monthly of course.

Grant and Ian have got to have a little break for this issue, lucky fellas! Hope- fully they don’t mind me hijacking their publication for a bit. Enjoy this issue. Rik 2 There are four variants of issue one to collect, with covers by Alice X Zhang, Will Brooks, Christopher Jones and Si- mon Myers. Titan Comics: Some will pick up the cover that they Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor particularly like, others will collect all four.

I need to know what hap- books have so far done an excellent pens next! job of capturing the essence of the era of Doctor Who that they are repre- senting and ‘Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor’ issue one is no exception. Andrew Cartmel (Doctor Who Script Editor 1987-1989) delivers an excellent script which captures the characters superbly. The artwork by Christopher Jones and Marco Lesko is gorgeous, stunning and beautiful and deserves to be in a gallery. This story takes place following the Big Finish ‘Lost Stories’ series and has a little ‘previously’ section at the begin- ning, to provide a catch-up. However it’s not essential that you’ve listened to them in order to enjoy the comic. The Counter-Measures team from Re- membrance of the Daleks make a re- turn as supporting characters.

The talent of this creative team shines through particularly strongly in their rendering of the new TARDIS control room. Somehow it appears even more beautiful and ethereal than it does on screen. We see that the new console features a twenty-sided die, which more geeky readers such as myself will recognise as being used in games of Dungeons and Dragons.

  • Doctor Who: Day of the Daleks
    DOCTOR WHO AND THE DAY OF THE DALEKS By TERRANCE DICKS Based on the BBC television serial Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks by Louis Marks by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation 1 Terror in the Twenty-second Century Moni sat up and looked around cautiously. The enormous dormitory was packed with sleeping forms, drugged into total exhaustion by hours of brutal physical toil. One or two murmured and twisted and cursed in their sleep. A man screamed, 'No, no, please don't...' and then his voice tailed off into the mutterings of a nightmare. Moni saw that it was Soran. He had been beaten by the guards that morning for failing to meet his work-norm. Soran was weakening daily. He wouldn't last much longer. Somehow the incident seemed to give Moni courage. It was for Soran that he was fighting. Soran and thousands like him who would die in the work camps from brutal beatings, or worn out after years of grinding labour, unless... unless... Moni threw back the coarse blankets and swung his feet to the floor. There was nothing unusual in his being fully dressed. The dormitories weren't heated and most of his fellows slept fully clothed against the night cold. Vaguely Moni remembered having heard of a time when men had special clothes to sleep in - called py-something or other. His mind could scarcely imagine such luxury. Moni fished his boots from beneath his pillow. He'd put them there automatically the night before. The boots were made of new strong plastic, and in the work camps nothing valuable was safe unless it was within touching distance.

It was a copy of one now standing guard at the gates of INAH in the city centre and which had been found here in San Miguel Coatlinchan, a surrogate for that which had been taken.
