It’s been a long wait, but finally Volume 2 is nearly upon us! Within its 104 pages can be found:
- The first half of our exhaustive Abslom Daak tribute, including interviews with writer Steve Moore, and artists Steve Dillon and David Lloyd. Also a Daak comic strip, written for DWM by Steve Moore in 1980 but withdrawn after a disagreement with the editor, now finally brought to the page by DWM artists Martin Geraghty, Adrian Salmon and Roger Langridge.
- We’re kicking off our series of DWM editor interviews with a fascinating chat between Dez Skinn and Tom Spilsbury. We also chat to Paul Neary, Alan McKenzie, Cefn Ridout and the elusive Sheila Cranna.
- Ex-Doctors Tom Baker and Colin Baker talk about their comic strip selves.
- Dave Gibbons, Steve Parkhouse and Mick McMahon discuss The Tides of Time and Junkyard Demon, and we take in The Lodger with Gareth Roberts and Mike Collins.
- We’ve got, The Housekeeper, a comic strip written by Paul Magrs and drawn by Bret M Herholz starring Mrs Wibbesey and the Fourth Doctor.
- And we’ve got an fantastic free gift in the form of a ‘Vworpabix’ board game. Based on the 1970s Weetabix game, ours has 16 character cards by Adrian Salmon and boards by Paul Grist, Jon Pinto, Leighton Noyes and Graeme Neil Reid.
- Two covers: a wraparound Abslom Daak cover by Mike Collins, and an early Doctor Who Monthly pastiche featuring Junkyard Demon (with Jason Fletcher and Ben Willsher’s take on Daak on the back cover).
- … and much more!

Many thanks for your support!
Oh wow, that just looks amazing!
Looking forward to this. Your images really pick up the nostalgia of the old issues. Any idea when this will be on sale, though?
Hurray! Glad to see an Abslom Daak themed issue!
Cant wait to get volume 2 though appear to be having a few probs with ordering it. Every time i fill in my details and click to submit it keeps telling me my e-mail is missing or name even though i hasve filled it in! I have done this 5 times and each time after i click submit, my e-mail or something else that i have filled in has dissapeared and i unable to complete order! Help?
Marc,
Odd. Sounds as though you’ve got cookies activated otherwise you wouldn’t have got as far as the checkout. Without seeing which fields you’re attempting to fill in I can’t help you complete the order, so I suggest you send the funds directly to Gareth’s PayPal account – garethkavanagh at hotmail.com (obviously with an ‘@’ in place of ‘at’). Please include a note saying which cover(s) you want!
Sorry for the inconvenience…
Best wishes,
Colin.
I have only just noticed that the Malevilus’ wings on issue 1′s alternative cover are made of bubble wrap.
Expect my observations about Issue 2 sometime in 2013, in time for the end of the dvd range.
Looking forward to #2
Haha! Yeah, that was me
Really looking forward to this guys. I can’t wait!
Hi, just checking when this is coming out (you mention end of August/early September). Any news on this at all. No pressure, just looking forward to it.
