Comic Strip: Mission For Duh
Notes: The year 1967 is not displayed anywhere on the book. Walter Howarth produced some of the artwork, including the comic strip and the cover. Howarth recalls that the portrait of the Doctor alongside the title was based on a newspaper photograph. The Doctor travelled alone, but picked up a group of companions including Harroll Strong, his red-headed twin children Dot and Jack and three other men in The Devil-Birds of Corbo and they departed at the end of the following story. Unlike the previous annual, there were no returning television monsters, though the Zarbi and Vortis were mentioned in Terror on Tiro, and Ten Fathom Pirates referred to the Kandalingas from the previous annual. There were no additional features other than a simple board game. Less than two months after publication, the book was outdated by the debut of the Second Doctor on British television. Due to a lower print run and poor circulation this book is considerably rarer than its predecessor.”
