Doctor WHO: Dalek Combat Training Manual

RELEASED OUT NOW! 159 pages | Hardback/ebook Authors Richard Atkinson, Mike Tucker Publisher BBC Books

  • If you bought 2018’s TARDIS Instruction Manual, this will feel somewhat familiar.

  • High-concept: a Gallifreyan manual for operatives in the Time War, using data extracts downloaded to the Matrix from the Doctor’s mind.

  • This mostly means two-page “field reports” on every Dalek story, with panels of “tactical analysis” which pick apart continuity inconsistencies.

  • All the main Dalek models are detailed. Topics like Davros and duplicates/henchmen are tackled too.

  • Some may not approve that all the black and white stills have been colourised – but it’s been done well.

  • Highlight: Gavin Rymill’s blueprint-y illustrations of Dalek models and craft.

SUPERMAN: THE KRYPTONITE SPECTRUM

Special K - Asking the important question, “What if a robot had a really big sword?”, this new graphic novel is very much in the tradition of 2000 AD’s punky spirit, even if it doesn’t manage to linger long in the memory.

ALTERED STATES

Essentially Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde if it'd been written by Carlos Castenada, Ken Russell's characteristically unrestrained take on a script by Network's Paddy Chayefsky is a bracing mix of acid trip visuals and hoary old tropes.
