The countdown to 50 continues with new covers for Third Doctor stories Spearhead from Space, The Ambassadors of Death and The Mind of Evil.
Click here to download the covers from Velvet Jacket, and read notes about their creation here.
I’ve also uploaded a refreshed Inferno cover for the recent re-release. The illustration has been very slightly tweaked but not redesigned, and the back has been updated with the new extras. That leaves two Third Doctor re-releases that need updated covers: The Claws of Axos and The Green Death. The former I only plan to change the pics of the Doctor and the Master for better quality ones, while the latter I’d like to replace the miner with Stevens if I can find a workable shot of him. I’m hoping to get those done shortly and then the Jon Pertwee era will be complete as I think the rest are looking good.
Thanks for all the updates this week! I’ve been using your covers for years and the daily Velvet Jacket uploads are an extra 50th present as far as I’m concerned! Thanks for all your hard work – it is genuinely appreciated. Of course – if rumours are to be believed – you may have many more opportunities to demonstrate your colouring skills on black and white stories over the next few years…!
Excellent covers as always Joe, really great to have those gaps filled in on my shelf! And here’s to the BBC keeping you a busy for a little while yet… 😉
