I've only recently started work on it. The book will of course pick up where the first one left off, in late 1979 with the arrival of Marvel UK's Doctor Who Weekly.Paul Scooneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322991318366377845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-12848361857048687392012-09-26T11:10:39.369+01:002012-09-26T11:10:39.369+01:00Thanks Steve.

Thomson in the 1930s, also writing for Red Letter and various Pearsons magazines. He was the brother of another Thomson writer, George Woodman.<br /><br />I'll see if I can dig out a date of death for him.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010426017572710283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-74486372750427956982012-09-26T09:12:22.008+01:002012-09-26T09:12:22.008+01:00Thank you for the lovely comments about my book.
...Thank you for the lovely comments about my book. <br /><br />I agree with the observation about Tom Tully. Since the book went to print I've established that the "Tom' of Roger Noel Cook's recollection was actually one Thomas Woodman. <br /><br />This and several other corrections are detailed in an 'Errata & Addenda' page I've set up on my blog: http://Paul Scooneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322991318366377845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-2578533638536665572012-09-25T10:02:22.746+01:002012-09-25T10:02:22.746+01:00For accuracy,I should have put 27 (twenty seven) i...For accuracy,I should have put 27 (twenty seven) issues of Classic Comics plus the Special.<br />Steve - the Dr Who strip must have appeared in more publications than any other comparable strip. It even appeared in the Radio Times after the TV Movie and there were hopes that it would appear in a national daily newspaper but this never materialised.

The strips started in 1964, a year after the TV show, so they'll also be celebrating their 50th anniversary shortly.
