| The DALEKS copyright BBC TV & The Estate of TERRY NATION |
I simply must tell you all about the existence of this great magazine I picked up from WH SMITH's today - The DALEKS! Published by PANINI (who also produce DWM), it's priced at £9.99 and is worth every penny.
As well as some great photos of Daleks merchandise, it also reprints two complete stories - from the original artwork - of the back page strip from TV CENTURY 21, including the very first 3-page adventure illustrated by RICHARD JENNINGS, as well as a later 6-pager by RON TURNER. And it contains a whole load of other goodies too numerous to mention.
(On the first 3 strip-pages, it looks as if clean copies of the original Daleks logo-box have replaced the old ones (especially on the first strip), which had probably dropped off the artboards long ago. Also, the gutter which separates them seems slightly wider than before, and masks-off a minuscule portion of the one on the first page. But, hey - it's a minor quibble.)
As is typical of WHS, the mag isn't placed where anyone would expect it to be, which is why I hadn't noticed it before on any of my regular browsing sessions. Instead of being put alongside DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE and other SF publications, it's stuck on a shelf in a corner of the shop where nobody looking for it would think to look for it. Why they didn't put a few copies where people would expect it to be, plus another few where they did put it, I'll never know. I've told them enough times in regard to BEANO Summer Specials and the like.
Anyway, take it from me - not to be missed!
