Cybernetix - Special issue advert

A one page “advert” for the forthcoming special issue of Cybernetix (that was never actually made).

Well the Ice Warriors came out OK, but sadly Pertwee looks bollocks.

Doctur Huw: What Happened Last Week in the TARDIS (part 2)

Here's part 2 of Doctur Huw and "What Happened Last Week in the TARDIS". This is from Cybernetix issue 3 - a Doctor Who fanzine I designed and edited in 1989 when I was about 15 years old. Again, my apologies for it being slightly childish and a bit unfunny, but it was a long time ago! Click here to read part 1 and for more info on this strip.

Cybernetix - Issue 3 (December 1989)

This third issue of Cybernetix was published (or rather photocopied) on Wednesday 27th December 1989. I'd say that it's the best out of all the issues. I think that I got better at the job with each issue. You could say that this was the final issue. Issue 4 didn't happen and "The Special?" wasn't really a proper issue. It was quite short and was just put together to use up the remaining articles that would have appeared in the scrapped "proper" special issue. Out of all the issues, I'd say that this issue had the best content, having an interview with Stephen Wyatt, a rather good piece of fiction by J.T called "Angel of Death" and a few other nice bits and pieces.
