It was the classic B/W story that made thousands of children nervous about using the London Underground for weeks after its original transmission, as a terrifying Yeti robot stalks its dark and scary tunnels in this superb art celebrating The Web of Fear, as originally used as a splendid double poster within a 1990's issue of the ground-breaking UK Who fanzine, DWB/Dream Watch Bulletin. We believe the artist of the piece to be Paul Redfearn?
Ten years ago, four missing episodes of the serial, along with the complete The Enemy of the World were amazingly discovered in Nigeria by that modern Indiana Jones of missing episodes recovery, Phillip Morris, to whom we are forever grateful. Sadly, there have been no further recoveries of lost stories from the Hartnell or Troughton since that incredible period. Yet we can still live in hope that some may make a future return, even if here and there only represented by a few sporadic individual episodes...
