July 21st, 2021 - 2:57pmFor all those asking there’s no comic strip. There also doesn’t look like there’s one next issue either.
There might be some original fiction next issue though. I’m not sure. In the ‘Next Issue’ trail it says “Black Powder – A new Adventure by Joy Wilkinson”
Whether that’s a new comic strip she’s written or a new book release, or simply a story she’s written for the magazine…Who knows?
Demdike@CultLabs
July 21st, 2021 - 2:59pmOh, right. I’ve just read Marcus’ editorial.
Black Powder is a new piece of thirteenth Doctor fiction written especially for the magazine. Part one is in the next issue.

July 21st, 2021 - 3:02pmFinally. The page count returns to 84 pages next issue too. It’s currently 76.

July 21st, 2021 - 4:12pmIs the price going to go up as I think due to COVID, It’s costing more to print.

July 23rd, 2021 - 6:17pmI’m not surprised. If you paddled in the sea at Bkackpool in the 70s, anything could float by…

July 21st, 2021 - 8:17amAnonymous LOL…..I thought it was only me that thinks they are over egging the canon too far now. All those stories in the gap between planet of fire and caves of andzroanzi are hard to take credibly.

July 21st, 2021 - 9:34amYou are not alone in that dale. I find it hard to credit the peri stories. After what must now be decades of travel she doesn’t age and happens to put the same outfit on for caves she was wearing hundreds of stories ago! Sometimes less really is more.

July 20th, 2021 - 3:31pmworth getting this time for the exhibitions feature alone but i will buy for the tributes to Damaris and Jackie. So nice to see the third doctor treating a sontaran and sea devil to a day trip to blackpool. Although i couldn,t imagine a sea devil emerging from the irish sea especially with all the effluent that was pumped into the sea back in the 70s. they couldn,t get out quick enough.

July 20th, 2021 - 3:42pmThey seem to be enjoying it though ergon.

July 20th, 2021 - 4:12pmI think the Sontaran will regret not rolling it’s trousers up though, he’ll have very wet socks under there!

July 20th, 2021 - 6:14pmSo that’s what gave Blackpool its ‘bouquet’!!
Should be a good issue, if a little poignant with the two tributes.
Did you download John Collier’s free e-book on the original Blackpool exhibition? Almost (but not quite) the last word on the subject. A sequel coming is this August to which I’ve contributed a bit!
The ergon
July 20th, 2021 - 7:14pmI have still got it backed up on my downloads doug. I look forward to the follow up.

July 20th, 2021 - 3:23pmAnother Gorgeous cover. Straight away reminded me of the Robert Harrops trio.
Even has the correct outfit for Jon.
