Additional details[]

  • The year is not displayed on the front cover.
  • The main cover image shows a Terileptil from TV: The Visitation
  • An article in DWM 502 revealed that John Nathan-Turner was extremely upset with the cover due to the join on the waist of the Terileptil's costume being visible, but there was not enough time to reprint the cover.
  • Further details of JN-T's disapproval of the cover are revealed in Richard Molesworth's book The John Nathan-Turner Production Diary 1979-1990. Marvel had previously contacted the Doctor Who production office asking for JN-T to approve the cover (at a point when it was still possible to change it) using the phrasing "as soon as possible". When JN-T finally got around to looking at the cover and rejecting it, it was explained to him that the costs of reprinting would have such an impact on the budget that the repercussions would include having to make at least two Marvel staff members redundant. JN-T grudgingly agreed to let the cover run, but pointed out that the phrase "as soon as possible" had been inappropriate as it had not fully communicated the urgency with which the approval decision had needed to be made.
