Who in WoH (3)


The newly released Battle for the Planet of the Apes was the main feature of World of Horror Issue 005, bagging the main cover image. Again, no mention of Doctor Who content but within was another monster-focussed feature.


Previous issues had given us almost exclusively photographs from the Pertwee stories, but Tom Baker was now starting to make his presence felt. The image of him above derives from one of his horror films - the Amicus portmanteau feature Vault of Horror. The K1 Robot also gets a look-in. The Curse of Peladon image is a rehearsal shot, as you can see that Sonny Caldinez (Ssorg) isn't wearing his full costume, and Katy Manning has her curlers in.


It was back to Pertwee for the second page of the feature - Colony in Space proving to be the most popular story for whoever selected the photographs for these articles. We've had images from the story in all three parts so far. Oddly this horror-focussed magazine opted for a photo of a humanoid version of an Axon, rather than the more horrific tentacled version - but not to worry, they'll make up for it in a later issue...
