Titan comics are putting out some of the best Doctor Who comics i have seen of late. While i don't keep up with their monthly's i have been grabbing up their mini-series. The 4th Doctor mini was spot on capturing the Tom Baker era perfectly. The current 3rd Doctor mini is again perfectly capturing the Pertwee years (even including the 2nd Troguhton Doctor as guest star) and it is great to see Lethbridge Stewart. The next to last issue of the current 4 Doctors not teaming up but combating the Cyber-men in all their separate adventures has been quite fun. If Titan continues this trend every summer with quality stories and art like this then i will gladly spend my nickels and dimes on them! I'm really enjoying them, too. Of the ongoings, I think the ninth Doctor series is probably about the best in my opinion, and I've also liked all the mini's so far. Did you read the eighth Doctor one? |

No i wasn't aware that there had been one for McGann. Googled and see it was out earlier this year! Thanks for the heads up, gonna have to check my LCS's and see if they have copies. Information about it looks pretty good  |

Steve Dillon, co-creator of Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer, has died aged 53. He began working in comics in 1979, aged just 16.

A page of Haylock's art from Sub Zero. The gold Dalek Supreme is making his comics debut here, I believe, but possibly more significant is the appearance of a Dalek with a red dome section. That model was never seen on TV, but when the Denys Fisher toy company launched a Doctor Who action figure range in 1977, five years after this strip was published, their Dalek had that same red dome...  |

^^ Good nerdy Dalek knowledge there, Tingramretro. Doctor Who fans, or at least those of a certain age, can out-nerd any other fandom's nerds any day of the week. It's a source of deeply held pride for many of us. |

''Sub Zero'' is an interesting tale, which demonstrates pretty clearly how little most of us knew about the realities of nuclear warfare in the early 1970s. Sydney Harbour is destroyed by the Daleks using a nuclear missile; there's a huge mushroom cloud, but no sign or mention of any fallout, and the explosion seems fairly localised. Rescue units (not in hazard gear) are immediately sent in to find survivors. It all tallies quite well, in fact, with the TV Doctor Who story ''The Claws of Axos'', transmitted the previous year, in which we learned that the best way to escape harm when a nuclear power station explodes is to run two hundred yards and hide behind a jeep.

As children we wouldn't have picked up on the absurdities of it all, nuclear war was something adults talked about. Hiding behind a jeep might have seemed a perfectly reasonable solution to a seven year old! I liked Sub Zero and it's great to see it reprinted, but my favourite story from that era was Threat from Beneath, which strangely enough also featured submarines and nuclear missiles! I hope DWM do more Countdown/TV Action reprints, as that was a cool free gift to get this month. (I am not a regular DWM buyer, but more old comic strip reprints would certainly get my cash!) |

I always thought we were supposed to put a paper bag over our heads. |
