Bit of a dire set - the only one that at least looks exciting is Death to the Daleks

What Ralph said, easy choice to make.

I actually like 'em all, although not necessarily for sound artistic reasons:
The Three Doctors - back in the late-70s, I didn't know anything at all about this story (other than what you can derive from the title!) so when my brother finally got the book, we thought it would be the most exciting story ever!!! So there's a lot of nostalgia in that cover...
...likewise The Monster of Peladon, which my Dad bought me in WH Smiths in 1982 when I broke my arm (cue jokes about it being a bit cruel, since I wouldn't be able to turn the pages)...
...and likewise Dalek Invasion of Earth which (although I don't think the likenesses of the Doctor and Susan aren't all that good) reminds me of the glorious Spring of 1990 when that story came out on VHS, allowing us to watch it for the very first time!! Glorious.
Death to the Daleks is one of the most iconic covers from the range, although it's actually a bit cartoony, and The Curse of Fenric is a cleverly composed cover fitting the story very well.
So I'm torn between the nostalgic, classic "too old, too evil, too Welsh" cover and the multi-layered Fenric.
Fenric gets it, hurrah!!

Monster of Peladon, for me

Death to the Daleks is the best cover here, but I'm confident it will get through, so I'll vote for my second choice which is Three Doctors.

A great selection here, but at the end of the day, there's no contest - Death To The Daleks wins out for me.

The Monster Of Peladon is hugely nostalgic for me - that very Target novel was given to me by a schoolfriend. Iconic. Of course, Death to the Daleks is iconic too and more deserving of my vote, but that'll get through without any problems.

The Three Doctors is my favourite here.
Monster is ok, but rather dull really. Death is iconic, but it won last time, so I'm voting against it. The Dalek Invasion of Earth is great, but I think of it more as a video cover than a book cover really, and Fenric is great, but I don't like the Doctor's face being half green, as it just seems a bit odd.

The Death to the Daleks cover is so simple and iconic, it sums up a whole era of Target novelisations for me!
One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!

I see... The title holder versus the Too Welsh cover... It's like that is it?
I voted for Monster Of Peladon, firstly because I like it, and secondly in the vain hope that voting against Death To the Daleks might knock it out and make the competition more open...
