It seems that theres a bumper collection of the early Doctor Who magainzes comic strips by Wagner, Mills and Gibbons. The best Doctor Who ever!
Erm that shhould be -theres a collection coming out sometime before christmas....
Who is selling this?

Also liked the look of McMahon's work on the Doctor Who strip

Pannini under license from the BBC. It says so in this months Doctor Who Monthly, so it must be true - Doctor Who Monthly only ever lies in April.

Yeah, I wish they'd reprint the Celestial Toymaker one he did - my old Doctor Who Weeklies have reached the second stage of disintegration. Serves me right for storing them in the cubboard about the central heating boiler, I suppose...
Wow, I'll buy that. I'm not an obsessive Who fan (it's just the tv shows for me) but where the spheres meet, i'll be there.
I assume no Moore due to the same Marvel UK problem that kept back Captain Britain for so long.
Blimey, I'd forgotten about that Toymaker one, about a riverboat gambler IIRC. Those back-up strips were great, especially the David Lloyd ones. If there's any chance of those being reprinted too...
++If there's any chance of those being reprinted too...++
I hope so - there's some great early Steve Dillon stuff there too. Gnork the Super Ogron deserved a series of his own...
Terence Dicks revived the concept (though it could have been a coincidence) in a novel, I believe.
The protagonist of David Lloyd's Auton strip is the spitting image of David Lloyd himself!
Wow, Panini needs to get a table of contents out for this book quickly. Those backups were issued in the US reprint comic in practically random order; I'd love to see a good collection of those. I'll also enjoy reading them to my son.

It seems that they're only releasing the 'main feature' stories in the first collection - The Iron Legion, City of the Damned, The Star Beast, Dogs of Doom and The Time Witch. The backup strips don't appear to get a look in, unfortunately, and it's only a 'proposed series' of TPB's - it may never actually materialise.
I'd suggest that we all went to the official Doctor Who Magazine website and enthused about the idea there, only they don't have one.
We could go to the official DWm teletext page on U.K.Gold and shout encouragement at it then.
