Cos it's decent.
There's questions that need to be asked about those results but that's not one of them

*reads new DWM* Ok, the correct choice for the best Pertwee but the bottom one does not deserve to be there. Bottom 3-5. Monster of Peladon & Mutants should be beneath it *turns to best of Tom section* How the fucking fuck is that number one???!!! Because it's fabulous AND WHAT THE FUCK IS *THAT* DOING AT SECOND BOTTOM??? SHOULD BE TOP 5!!! -Ralph Maybe not quite that high but penultimate poition is madness. They got Tom's bottom right though. |

Monster of Peladon is a bit poop but I have a soft spot for The Mutants. Very few Pertwees are actively bad. I maintain it is still the most consistent quality of Who (along with arguably Cake Bastard's brief run).

I was expecting a bit more than a poster and a promo comic for the £3 price hike on DWM this month. Being a subber it doesn't really affect me, but £11 seems an astronomical price for a newstand magazine.

Printed periodicals are expensive to produce and don't sell big numbers anymore. So the prices go up and circulation drops etc.
It's amazing DWM is still going!

Yes, but what I'm saying is they've put the price up by three quid to include a poster, which is usually a freebie when they do them, and a promo comic. Their 'added tat' issues are usually better value than that.

The extra comic pages will be expensive to produce. Bear in mind they can only do 6 pages of strip in the regular mag these days.
I agree that £11 is madly high. I can sort of see how it costs that though. You're essentially paying £3 for the extra comic.

Being a subber it doesn't really affect me, but £11 seems an astronomical price for a newstand magazine. Eleven pounds seems a lot, and yes it is on the order of twice the price of my other usual print magazines. But, given the small size of the potential audience for DWM (comparing it to the aviation-related publications I buy it's potential audience draw is inevitably going to be somewhat smaller I would say), and the fact that there are costs in magazine production that are difficult to reduce below a certain point... I'm not entirely surprised by the large price difference. There are fixed costs that the DWM publishers _have_ to recover for it to be economically viable to publish at all, and the purchaser-based they have to spread that recovery over is likely to be significantly smaller than that of Key Publications can spread theirs over. In the final analysis, it is a very niche publication and is always going to be priced accordingly. Karl |

What are we talking? The main strip stories or the Adrian Salmon series?

Not clear yet. But if it's like The Daleks it will be All In original backups, main strips and possibly the Salmon stuff

Hmm. I could go for a remastered Kroton, but I didn't buy the Dalek books. Might be an idea as I don't think I can keep the DWM collection indefinitely. There's just not enough space.

Phil will give us the Booksetc links for the Dalek books that Ralph forgot to get until now.

Reasonably sized version of the cover I can see Steve Moore, Alan Moore and Steve Dillon on the creators list, that means original backups tardis.fandom.com/wiki/DWM_backup_comic_storiesGrant Morrison is on there, so that's the Planet 4 main strip Adrian Salmon is on there, so the Cyber backups. Looks like a must have |

I found the 1963/64 special in Smiths today, saved the postage on that one.
I also noticed in this month's DWM strip that of all the different shapes and sizes the Terrorkon the Daleks attack could be, it looks an awful lot like Hun-Gurrr.
