“Like all fans who collected the original run of annuals, we were always disappointed that the Seventh Doctor never got his own annual,” says editor Mark from Terraqueous of their latest release. “So we had to do something about that, and the response was huge.”

the annual includes a very special Beano-style comic strip written by the weekly humour comic’s editor, John Anderson, illustrated by Beano artist Shannon Gallant.

Also in the mix is an exclusive short story, by Chris McAuley, telling the tale of how Mags and the intergalactic explorer Captain Cook from The Greatest Show in the Galaxy first met. (Chris also coloured Jessica Martin’s illustrations for the Annual, and interviewed Stephen Wyatt). The annual is a not-for-profit publication, and non of the money paid by purchasers goes to the publisher or to any of the contributors.
