Changes: The Second Doctor Who Monster Book

Revision as of 23:02, 20 November 2019

This is a work of non-fiction.

Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.

The Second Doctor Who Monster Book was a Doctor Who reference book published by Target Books and W. H. Allen.

Publisher's summary

Here in The Second Doctor Who Monster Book is the story of the new Doctor in his fourth most exciting incarnation. How and why he changed his form... the story of his companions, adventures and, above all, the fresh array of monstrous enemies he encountered on the way.

Notable features

This book again mixes large photographs, and fewer illustrations from the Target novelisation covers along with text by Terrance Dicks.
The book features sections on Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan and Leela.
Each story is related by way of a two-page spread and story outline.
Stories covered:

Robot

The Ark in Space

The Sontaran Experiment

Terror of the Zygons

Revenge of the Cybermen

Genesis of the Daleks

Planet of Evil

Pyramids of Mars

The Android Invasion

The Brain of Morbius

The Seeds of Death

The Masque of Mandragora

The Hand of Fear

The Deadly Assassin

The Face of Evil

The Robots of Death

The Talons of Weng-Chiang

Notes

Photographs from The Tomb of the Cybermen are used for the Revenge of the Cybermen spread. (Target Books occasionally swapped and mixed Cyberman models in artwork with little regard for how they had appeared in a given story.)
Following the success of The Doctor Who Monster Book, this second book again featured a cover art by Chris Achilleos but was smaller in size, featured colour and did not come with a poster. It had a price of 70p UK.
The back cover features a block advert for the forthcoming (November 1977) Doctor Who Discovers books. "The first five of many more titles..."
