Has to be the Doomsday Weapon for me, it was the first DW book I ever bought.

I can't believe how well The Giant Robot is doing. It's a terrible painting. I much prefer the reprint cover.

"The Robot" cover is just a bit silly and stagy, and "Invisible Enemy" captures Tom at an unusual moment, as if just turning round to reply to the question "would you like a cup of coffee?". There's no logic to "K9 & Company" at all, and the addition of a random bit of sky, a gay old archway and a square of floor from a gentleman's public toilet make so sense.
I've gone for "Doomsday" because it's lovely and arty in that seventies way - a very skilled painting.
At least one Pertwee fan remembers his loyalty too!

I agree about Delgado - he looks like he's just swallowed a wasp!
The reprint of T'Doomsday Weapon is far better. But I suppose that's a cover for another round...

I don't actually like any of them, but I've gone for The Invisible Enemy because I think it's a good picture of Tom, even if it does have a rather drunk looking giant prawn thing lurking in the background in the manner of the 'who the hell are you?' section of FHM (what he wanted: Tom reacting to a thrown beer bottle; what he got: crazy inebriated invertebrate gurning at the camera). Robot is too cluttered, with Tom in the O, an inset, and a scene that doesn't actually hapen in the story involving jets. The Doomsday Weapon has exactly the opposite problem, with far too much blank space, and in the middle of a colourful scene the artist has bunged in some black-and-white pencil drawings of Pertwee and Delgado. K9 and Company is delightfully 80s in style, but is very dull, and has that god-awful 80s 'computer' font, and The Abominable Snowmen is, despite being an acomplished piece of art, really just a Yeti on a dark mountain. No true greats in that selection.
