Time Lords land in Issue #155: “The Four Faces of Dr. Who” and a look at the Doctor’s big-screen prospects bring Tom Baker’s Doctor to FM’s pages. Buck Rogers rockets back as a “25th Century Hero,” Starcrash joins the space-opera gold rush, “The Cat Creeps Again” revisits The Cat and the Canary — and a first word arrives of something called Alien.
A group of tinted photos of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor from DR. WHO — the curly-haired, scarf-wearing Time Lord winning over a generation of American monster kids who were discovering the show for the first time.
Early American Doctor Who coverage is exactly the kind of crossover artifact Whovians hunt — Issue #155 caught the Fourth Doctor before most of the country had met him. Buck Rogers and Starcrash stamp the space-opera moment.
