Issue No.8 of World of Horror did have mention of Doctor Who content on the cover again, but the miscellaneous monster galleries of previous issues had come to an end. (Not entirely sure where the cover image comes from. Rocky Horror possibly? Do let me know if you recognise it).
Instead, within the covers we had a feature on the Longleat Exhibition.
The accompanying photographs did not, however, come from the venue. Instead they were BBC publicity shots. What's more - most of these monsters didn't even feature in the exhibition.
The Emperor from Evil of the Daleks never appeared at Longleat or Blackpool. Neither did a Primitive from Colony In Space, nor a Gellguard from The Three Doctors.
The exhibition Cybermen tended to be a mix of The Wheel in Space and Revenge of the Cybermen variants - often muddled together.
Metebelis Spiders and Giant Maggots were to be seen, and so were a Mutant and an Ice Warrior. Azaxyr had been on display, but not this particular year.
In fact, the text talks a lot about Tom Baker monsters - Wirrn, Davros and Styre with his robot - yet no Season 12 images illustrate the article. It's mostly Pertwee era again.
I wasn't complaining, however. It was just nice to get some nice glossy photographs from the show in those pre-Doctor Who Weekly days.
