Additional details
- No year was shown on this cover of this issue, which was priced at 60p (UK).
- The cover shows Turlough and the Fifth Doctor from DW: Mawdryn Undead .
- With a cover tag stating `Regeneration: 1st New Look Issue`, it is somewhat surprising for this revamped look that the designer is not credited.
- The changes are quite difficult to spot but include:
- splitting the comic strip up into two sections of 4 pages (front and back)
- The use of red (not black ink) for some of the captions and photographs, some of which are ‘playfully’ edited!
- removing the colour centrespread pages (even if they were often used for B&W or even advertising)
- increasing the page count to 44 and the price (again), to 60p!
