The DWAS Yearbook 1976

 

In the Society’s early days as well as the regular fanzines they would also publish a Yearbook and the first of these covers much of what happened during the DWAS’s first year. Fronted by Stuart Glazebrook’s artwork of the  Doctor Sarah and the TARDIS in front of a planet and a sun (with the Doctor’s scarf providing a frame for the picture), the first yearbook had forty pages and was A5 size. Published in February 1977 and edited by Keith Barnfather it includes reviews of each Season 13 story accompanied by artwork.

Fan Scene #2 Tardis issues 3 & 4 1976

Early 1976 saw issue 3 which was, unsurprisingly, a Jon Pertwee special and the first to be edited by Gordon Blows. The great thing about this issue is that rather than being somewhat removed from what was happening on screen `Tardis` now has news and therefore becomes a much more essential read. Back in 1970s the print and tv media only covered major Doctor Who related stories like a change of Doctor or new companion. For anything else fanzines became the go-to place for details.
