There is currently a 15% discount on Lulu for all print books. Use the promo code GIVE15 on checkout. This is valid through to November 27. I'm guessing there might be further offers after 27/11 for Black Friday.

Doctor Who Magazine very generously provided frames from its run of Fifth Doctor strips to illustrate @paulscoones.bsky.social's commentary pieces on each one. These were, of course, in black and white as originally printed, having been scanned and cleaned for Panini's excellent graphic novel.

One small part I'm super-proud of is my (re)colorisation of frames from the classic Fifth Doctor strip 'The Tides of Time', including Dave Gibbons' stunning opening page displaying the Event Synthesizer in all its magnificence.

These included the full splash page for 'The Tides of Time', which I very much wanted to include in the Annual having adored it for nearly 44 years 👴! Yet editor @frontiervinyl.bsky.social had also commissioned a lovely painting by Tony Green representing all the strips to accompany Paul's feature.
