Daleks, in "The Dogs of Doom," before arriving in a land of make believe
where he
squares up to "The Time Witch." Featuring fan-favorite sorties from the pen
of 2000

Looking forward to this. Hope the back-up strips get a shout too eventually.

Great stuff!  Regarding the back-up strips, there was an Abslom Daak TPB a few years back.  Course if you want the original weeklies...

Theres something on the BBC website about it - The first five stories, including the Watchers personal favourite "City of the Damned"...

IIRC, these stories were the ones that Mills and wagner tried to sell to the TV show - they might have been  a little over ambitious, but they knock the socks of the stories we were getting on the TV at the time

So when's it out? March? Hmph. Oh well, I suppose as I've been waiting for this since it was announced last summer, another month or so shouldn't be too much of a drag.

Hang on, what am I saying? My best mate owns a comic shop! Time to call in a favour, I think.
