August 8th, 2015 - 6:35pmyeah she was!
I’m….
August 10th, 2015 - 11:52amYeah. I agree, but she is quite well known as a villain because she was part of the Series 6 story arc. Despite this, I probably would have preferred it if they put Sutekh on the cover instead.

August 12th, 2015 - 6:55pmIt makes sense from a marketing point of view though: having more villains that younger and newer viewers who have not seen much classic who will recognise will sell more copies to members of the public who aren’t particularly classic fans, and thus make more money.

August 4th, 2015 - 12:30amI would think they could probably get one more year of 3 MagBooks out of this approach – to see us through 2016 – say, ‘The Timelords’, ‘UNIT’ and maybe one other?

August 12th, 2015 - 6:55pm“the spin offs”?
UnlimitedRicePudding7
November 4th, 2015 - 6:26amThat’s exactly what I thought! UNIT & The TimeLords for next books! Another one could be to do with K-9, such as Robots and Other Mechanical Creatures?

August 3rd, 2015 - 11:54pmFantastic, just picked up No.4. A really good series and well worth the £9.99. I believe the earlier 50 years edition are starting to be quite collectible

The Werewolf
August 3rd, 2015 - 3:15pmI love Davros, and I love Sharaz-Jek. How much do these things cost?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 3rd, 2015 - 3:16pm£10 🙂
The Werewolf
August 3rd, 2015 - 3:19pmThank you.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 3rd, 2015 - 3:21pmYour welcome 🙂
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 3rd, 2015 - 3:13pmYES ! YES ! YES !, I always hoped they would do one about Davros !! [even if this one is also about other Villains].
So much for my ‘Essential Doctor Who – Davros’ cover I made a while back http://doctorwhoone.deviantart.com/art/The-Essential-Doctor-Who-Davros-539990305
Then again, maybe whoever produces the Essential Doctor Who issues probably browsed Deviant Art one day and came across my cover and thought “hey that’s a good idea, let’s do one about Davros and various other villains the Doctor has met down the last 50 odd years” 😀
If so, I’m honoured 🙂
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
August 3rd, 2015 - 3:52pmOr maybe not.

Doctor Who Crazy Ross
August 3rd, 2015 - 4:04pmAlso, I have seen better fan made covers
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 3rd, 2015 - 4:56pmAstroaught of Death – I did say “if so”, so I didn’t intend my comment to come and say “they are making it because of my Deviant Art upload”, and chances are, they was gonna make this new issue anyhow even if I did not make my mock up cover.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 3rd, 2015 - 4:57pmSorry, my comment was ment to be for Doctor Who Crazy Ross not the other guy.
the astronaut of death
August 3rd, 2015 - 5:01pmI liked it…
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 3rd, 2015 - 5:07pmChhers A.O.D. 🙂
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 3rd, 2015 - 5:08pmI mean ‘Cheers’ . . . . man I need to slow down when I type words, my hands are like Commander Data’s from ‘Star Trek – The Next Generation’ when he presses buttons really really quickly sometimes 😀
Peter
August 3rd, 2015 - 10:50pmI actually prefer your cover.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
August 4th, 2015 - 3:31pmOh, ha ha, cheers Peter 😉

August 3rd, 2015 - 2:26pmI’m meeting Davros from the new series in a few weeks

August 3rd, 2015 - 2:25pmThe best one was the Dalek special a few years ago.
StetsonDoctor
August 3rd, 2015 - 2:11pmBit of a tacky title if you ask me. I know that they’ve included Davros in the title because he’s a well known character (i.e. it will stand out more on the shelf so more people will buy it), although I would’ve honestly preferred just ‘Villains and something’.
It looks like an interesting read, however they do seem to be running low on ideas with this series…maybe this will be the last one?
The TARDIS
August 3rd, 2015 - 5:07pmI was thinking that… Maybe they would’ve been better releasing them a bit more gradually, as it seems to be running out of steam.

August 3rd, 2015 - 11:58pmIs he not one of the most reoccurring bad guys other than The Master, Daleks and Cybermen…already covered

August 4th, 2015 - 8:54pmCould have just called it Masterminds and Megalomaniacs
