Although we've seen quite a few examples of Richard Jenning's and Ron Turner's work on the Dalek strip, I thought it would be nice to show Eric Eden's small contribution for a change, which more or less divided the point between Jennings and Turners artwork (Ron did complete the final two pages of the last Jenning's story).
The story was given the title ,' The Archives of Phryne', at some point during one of it's later reprints.
The strip originally began in TV Century 21 issue 52, the same issue which saw the Thunderbirds strip start. It finished in issue 58. Eric's really accurate renditions of the Daleks leads me to suppose he must have had a few reference photos from the Aaru film, Dr Who and The Daleks,
I liked Eric Eden's Daleks art, as I did Richard Jennings' and Ron Turner's. However, overall, I preferred Jenning's. Time the strips were reprinted from superior sources - the Marvel one, 'though good, had a few problems.
ReplyDeleteHow come Marvel published Dr.Who strips?
ReplyDeleteIt was Dez Skinn's idea when he assumed overall editorial duties for Marvel U.K.'s output in the late '70s. And to think the mag is still around after all these years, eh?
