Cover Competiton Discussion Thread

[Pip Madeley]

I meant the poll, not the actual thread itself. That's why I said it didn't really matter if latecomers wanted to add their comments after, as the poll was closed to voting.

[Paul Clement]

The third group has ended and the results are in.

In reverse order:

Attack of the Cybermen Version 1 - 2 votes

[Andrew Curnow]

Si's favourite out already - heads will roll I'm sure!

[Paul Clement]

I can't believe thew Curse of Peladon cover got through. The Ice Warrior looks like a Dapol figure, and that's not good.

[SiHart]

I'm officially cross and upset that the dull Crusaders won out over Web of Fear. Grrrr!

Si xx

[Pip Madeley]

Not as bad a loss as Innes Lloyd and Peter Bryant though.

[Jonno]

I am shocked that Web didn't go through - even if I didn't vote for it! You can't blame The Crusaders though - just the Pertwee fans who voted for Curse regardless...

[Paul Clement]

It's all very subjective, I suppose. The question is to 'choose your favourite' cover, and that doesn't necessarily mean the one you think is best drawn or with best likenesses. The era it belongs to, nostalgia and personal preference all come into it.

That's what I'm sticking to anyway, it's the only explanation for Curse getting through.

[Paul Clement]
