    TAKE A LOOK BACK AT THE HISTORY OF DOCTOR WHO BOOK COVER ART – IN DWM 499!

    As the art of the Target books is celebrated in a new exhibition, DWM tracks down the men who painted Doctor Who…

    DWM speaks to Chris Achilleos, the first regular artist on the range, establishing a new visual style for Doctor Who

    “I didn’t need direction – I knew how to do a cover,” he explains today. “I was always very aware that a book cover needs to be attractive – almost interactive, in a way – so that you’re drawn to pick it up in a shop. I still think they work as good punchy covers.”

    Target book fan and modern-day Doctor Who writer Mark Gatiss has much affection for the artwork: “The Three Doctors was my first and perhaps still my favourite,” he says warmly. “The incredibly evocative orange and green luridness of Omega’s deadly fingers, the Doctors themselves in grave monochrome. I still get a Proustian rush from seeing these images.”
