Additional details

 * Additional Input: Letters Page (From DWM 47): The letters page queries the cover caption of 'four foes' but five shown. Not admitting to error, the explanation is given that the Ambassadors of Death were "...not really an enemy at all so the cover caption was right... wasn't it?"
 * The year is not included on the front cover, which had a cover price of 30p (UK).
 * The cover image shows Jon Pertwee posing with an astronaut from TV: The Ambassadors of Death and a Sea Devil. Oddly, the vintage image also shows Pertwee with a Cyberman and a Yeti, even though the Third Doctor never encountered either creature during his original TV tenure.
