For Peter Davison's term as Dr Who, I've completely re-done the logo. Collectors of old pop compilation LP records will no doubt recognise its origins. I wanted something that spat 'the eighties' and I think I've got that.
Some people hate it, but they tend to be the ones who don't get the fact I'm attempting to recreate something akin to the decades that the episodes were originally transmitted. I'd have to say that I'd have been appalled if they had gone for something like that at the time.
In most cases, the strap line on each cover highlights some of the tantalising questions asked in the Radio Times listings during the show's first run. I will admit that I got a bit carried away and started making my own up as the covers went on...
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this bumper crop of covers...
I have to be honest that I did consider a new branding of the novels to coincide with the new direction that Doctor Who took with its eighteenth season but I felt it would only detract from the continuity of all of the Tom Baker covers I've now done.
These are the final ones... all 41 stories have now been dissected and Photoshopped into alternate covers.
Hopefully, I'll start tackling the 80s shortly... but not today. My head hurts and I need a mug of tea and couple of paracetamol!
Graham Williams takes over as the new producer of Doctor Who but the covers remain the same...
Moving back a year, here's the classic Key to Time season.
I'm quite pleased with all of these for a change. There's a nice mix of silliness and drama in all of these covers.
I will also point out that the 'thing' that is menacing the rig on The Power of Kroll cover is a screen capture of Kroll - suitably re-tinted and blown up in Photoshop. It isn't anything else whatever you may think...
