There is mention on Amazon of this TV21 book - here: "TV Century 21 Complete Dalek Strips In One Exciting Book Ultra Rare Proof Book".
It is described as:
"A fantastic 100 page Complete Dalek Comic Strips as they appeared in the TV Century 21 Comics of the 1960's. This book is one of the very few proofs that was made to be approved for a book release. Sadly, the book never went to print, hence the reason why it is so very very rare. Every comic strip that was produced for the comics, have been reproduced in this book, in full colour."
Now I know nothing about this proof book but the mention of TV21 drew me there. I'm not a big Dalek fan so I can't comment on its rarity. However, the publication in the pictures looks a lot like a report I might have done in my office, with a plastic cover and a plastic spine!
Does anyone know anything about it?
It just looks like an unofficial fan publication to me. Those sort of things crop up from time to time on eBay.
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked sort of unofficial too Lew. I suppose they've just bigged it up for a higher price.
ReplyDeleteThe TV21 Dalek strips were published back in the 90s in a magazine special - The Dalek Chronicles. Wish I still had it.

I have the 1990s reprint, unfortunately the paper is beginning to yellow. Will have to scan and clean it up at some point. The whole strip really needs a good high quality reprint.
ReplyDeleteSo do you think this could be the real thing Yorkie and Andy? A proof book of the book you guys bought in the 90's?
ReplyDeleteA while back it was offered for sale and then withdrawn. There was speculation that it was either a hoax, or the '90s Marvel reprint mag with a mocked-up cover. Short of being able to examine it, it's hard to be certain whether it's genuine or not.
