The Unofficial Master Annual 2074
This item is discontinued.
Out Now – The unofficial Master annual 2074
Last year Terraqueous Distributors released ‘The unofficial Dr Who annual 1972’, and ‘The unofficial Dr Who annual 1987’. Which featured stories and illustrations produced by fans, as well as celebrity contributions from the worlds of Doctor Who.
Now TERRAQUEOUS DISTRIBUTORS have released The unofficial Master annual 2074.
The annual is an impressive 136 pages, featuring stories and illustrations produced by fans, as well as contributions from well known names such as Alister Pearson, Smuzz, and Andy Walker.
The Master annual was originally announced last November, with a call for contributors. The following is an excerpt from the writers guidelines: “The Master is the Anti-hero. Sometimes saving people, not because of compassion or moral values, but because it suits whatever agenda he has.
Of course he can also be the villain, remember that meddlesome Doctor isn’t around – and thats when villains come out on top”. The focus of the annual is the original Master portrayed by Roger Delgado.
As many fans will notice, the cover artwork is a homage to the first ever Dr Who annual that was released in 1965 by World Distributors. “We wanted from the start to send the message that the Doctor isn’t here to save the day, he’s gone, he’s been replaced by a different kind of “hero”.
And in the unofficial Master annual, we get to explore just how successful he can be. What could be more thrilling than exploring the Master’s universe, without having the Doctor there to save the day”. The cover was illustrated by Paul Cooke and features original characters from the stories in the annual.
The Unofficial Master Annual 2074 is published by Terraqueous Distributors and available from Lulu at the print-on-demand price of £23.32 plus shipping costs). The annual is a not-for-profit publication, and none of the money paid by purchasers goes to the publisher or to any of the contributors.
Later this year, Terraqueous Distributors will be releasing their fourth annual. This time the focus will be on the seventh Doctor. If you would like to contribute to the seventh Doctor annual, please send an email to: [email protected] Details on the Terraqueous Distributors Facebook page

April 28th, 2020 - 12:59amHad a reply from lulu about my disabled account boo boo. They say they are aware of multiple problems and are working to fix them. Said they’d email again when the account access problem is fixed but obviously no time scale mentioned.

April 28th, 2020 - 2:18pmThats good news, hopefully it won’t be too long now.

April 29th, 2020 - 10:12amTried several times to reset password as they informed me to do but you need a reset email and when you request one nothing arrives. Not impressed.
oh the irony of it all
April 27th, 2020 - 5:24pmit’s a pity that the discount code will most likely expire before they get this title up and available to order again
booboo
April 26th, 2020 - 9:19amwill try to contact them to see what’s going on

April 26th, 2020 - 9:50amthanks booboo. LULU did a massive site relaunch yesterday which may account for the anomalies?

April 26th, 2020 - 4:27pmThe new website layout is horrible! It was hurting my eyes. Don’t know what lulu are thinking

April 26th, 2020 - 4:34pmPleased I ordered straight away as the book has arrived and now I can’t access my lulu account. Just says account has been disabled. Contacted them and we’ll see what happens
Lulu what were you thinking
April 26th, 2020 - 10:56pmyes agreed the new Lulu layout is dreadful. Seems like their revamp has been nothing short of disastrous

April 25th, 2020 - 7:46pmI can’t believe how great this book is, the storys are well written and good fun. The artwork is beautiful. A welcome addition to my collection.
Dean Wells
April 25th, 2020 - 7:37pmIn my opinion this one far surpasses the two actual Doctor annuals they’ve done so far.
It’s really outstanding.
Duncan Parsons
April 25th, 2020 - 4:49pmI’d really love to get this but not right now.
Anonymous
April 25th, 2020 - 6:27pmIt won’t stay up for a huge amount of time. The pertwee 72 is no longer available and the Baker 87 will be discontinued later this year. If you want it buy it now!

April 25th, 2020 - 4:35pmJust received mine and I have to say I’m blown away at the quality of this. Worth every penny.
Jason King
April 25th, 2020 - 12:10amThis Annual is of an incredible quality and such an obvious love for the character and the genre comes across. If you are one of those people who have a collection of classic Doctor Who Annuals, you NEED this in your collection. The front cover is a thing of genuine beauty in itself.
So many talented people have been involved in making this, worth every single penny.

April 24th, 2020 - 10:07pmMy Master Fannual has arrived.
No reason really to be astonished, but The Art,layout and comic strip (yeah more please) astonishes me yet again. The standard and quality of these are so good. It oozes love and care, given to a Fan favourite Character and Actor. Brilliant Tribute to Roger Delgado.

April 21st, 2020 - 5:02pmIt’s a very nice addition to the lineup.
I’m fortunate to have a Contributors Edition of the book (different cover and b&w internals).
I put a video of it on YouTube.

April 19th, 2020 - 3:44amIf they do an annual for McCoy’s 3 years (87,88,89) I wonder if they’ll do a1996/97 Paul mcgann annual? I do hope so

This proves this future is not supposed to be like this?

April 17th, 2020 - 9:49amBit too expensive to be honest but very nice.
Anonymous
April 17th, 2020 - 10:10amIt’s a print on demand book. Full of colour artwork. That is always expensive for even for mainstream publishers. Yes it’s a lot of money. But the costs involved in producing such a limited item are large. The first two seem to be unavailable now so I’d snap this up if you want it.

April 16th, 2020 - 5:06pmThe quality of the previous annuals by these guys have been superb – ordered!
looking forward to seeing the seventh Doctor & Ace in their first annual.

April 16th, 2020 - 7:25pmI presume it will be 7th and mel mainly if it’s linked to his first season.
book lover
April 16th, 2020 - 9:22pmI have spoken with the Terraqueous, and it is Seven and Ace. Mel will feature, but the stories featuring her have already been written.
Anonymous
April 17th, 2020 - 10:11amSo it should be the 88 annual for the 87 series. Happy for mel to be there but very happy if ace is!
