PS So… The new bits are the Brian Bolland strip and article, the Alan Stevens article, the Rob Schwab article, the Lew Stringer interview, the Abslom Daak script and the posters. There’s also some new artwork, and we were never happy with the colours and lack of texture on Paul Magr’s lovely The Housekeeper strip, so that’s been revisited too. I’ve also taken the opportunity to rework various bits, like the Doctor Who Weekly paperwork, which is now a more reader-friendly size.
