The DOCTOR WHO ANNUAL That Never Was - But IS!
Copyright BBC TV |
A few years ago I read somewhere about a privately-produced 'fan' Annual of Dr. Who featuring William Hartnell. The idea was to make it look as if it'd been published in the '60s and I must confess the idea rather appealed to me. However, I never got around to ordering one until recently, when semi-regular commenter JP reminded me of its existence.
I think I got the very last one the publisher still had (unless he's printed some more) and I've enjoyed browsing through it. It's not perfect though, with some decidedly 'dodgy' amateur illustrations, and the lettering and speech balloon shapes on one of the two picture-strips is pretty dreadful, it has to be said.
However, overall, it's a very slick and professional-looking piece of work and most of the art is around the standard of the two genuine Bill Hartnell Dr. Who Annuals for 1966 and '67, so this one makes a nice addition to anyone who has them in their collection. I think there are other 'faux' Annuals for other years (and Doctors), but I won't be bothering with them.
Anyway, thought you Crivvies might like to see a few images from my newest acquisition, so here they are - enjoy! (And welcome back to the '60s.)
This isn't the strip I referred to in my intro - this is the 'better' lettered of the two |
