The Chris Achilleos cover art for June 1st 2023 release of The Making of Doctor Who:The Original 1970s Programme Guide Audio CD which uses the art from 1975's The Doctor Who Monster Book rather than the art from it's own actual release in 1972 or reprint in 1980.

The Doctor Who Monster Book was very much part of my introduction to Doctor Who.

Much of my interest gained by the fantastic Achilleos artwork on the cover. The Sea Devils and Silurians looked absolutely fantastic and jolly scary and they above all really captured my imagination as did so many of the photos and illustrations inside.

Did you manage to get a copy of the second monster book as well? It's a smaller format than the original and didn't have a poster.

[Susan Foreman]

No idea!

I've got an (extremely battered) copy of the original that was handed down to me from an older brother.
