Doctor Who The Essential Guide #1 Cybermen

Panini’s bookazines continue with a new title: The Essential Doctor Who!

The first edition is devoted to the Cybermen, the emotionless silver giants that first appeared in Doctor Who in 1966 and most recently menaced Matt Smith’s Doctor in his final adventure.

The Essential Doctor Who: Cybermen is a lavish and comprehensive guide featuring details of every Cyberman episode.

There are new and previously unpublished interviews with the writers, designers and actors who brought the Cybermen to life, details of an unmade Cyberman story from the 1970s and even a guide to walking like a Cyberman by Doctor Who’s choreographer. Details of Cyberman comics, novels, audio stories, toys and collectables complete this essential guide to one of the Doctor’s most enduring adversaries.

      These are not like the DWM Specials which come out regularly over the year. So far these have come out randomly and most likely based on previous sales as they retail a lot dearer so are not available in any subscription packages…

      There was a Doctor Who Magazine comic-strip done years ago called ‘Genesis of the Cybermen’.

    • Anonymous

      February 20th, 2014 - 12:30pm

      Wasn’t Genesis of the Cybermen originally the Fifth Doctors story that was going to be shown on tele but it was never made?

    • DOCTOR WHO ONE

      February 20th, 2014 - 5:25pm

      I don’t know about that. I think it was the 6th Doctor in the comic-strip I mentioned earlier.

    How to walk like a Cyberman? Surely that depends on the version (for example remember the famous Revenge “hands on hips” style).

      I don’t think so. it is a continuation of The Doctor Who Bookazines they made for the Anniversary year. there where 3 last year. A Daleks one, a Companions one and a Doctors one. I guess they where popular so they decided to extend them past being Annivery Specials.

      It’s also worth calling you local WHSmiths for copies. Mine still has all three on the shelves…

    Worst Cybermen on the cover. Should have been one of the early versions.

      Indeed.
      It should’ve been the Cybermen as they were seen in “The Tenth Planet”.

    • DOCTOR WHO ONE

      February 19th, 2014 - 4:25pm

      In fairness, wither you like the new Cybermen or hate them, they are the latest generation of one of the Doctor’s greatest enemies, so it’s only right that the latest version appears on the cover.

      Come on, they aren’t perfect but they are hardly the Cybusmen.
