Cover blurb:
“These extraordinary books are like weird, grotesque shadow-versions of the Show we recognise. They are mutations haunting the wilderness between the domed, protected cities of Canonicity. The world of the Annuals is odder, darker, madder, more psychedelic and surreal. These are adventures in a wilder, destabilized universe. The cosiness of what we recognise as Doctor Who has gone."
— Paul Magrs, from the Introduction

“Funny, but never cynical, impeccably researched, but never dry, The Annual Years is the definitive story of the Doctor’s wildest adventures, and essential reading if you remember the time when Doctor Who at Christmas meant Sinister Sponges, Neuronic Nightmares and a Universe Called Fred."
— Neil Perryman, “Adventures with the Wife in Space”

“For all DOCTOR WHO fans of a certain age, the World Distributors DOCTOR WHO Annuals hold a certain appeal. What’s wonderful about this book, is that Paul Magrs loves the Annuals ... he loves them with insight and passion, and yet he’s not afraid to also see them for what they were. Theirs is a strange, parallel world to the television series, full of outrageous concepts and baffling conceits, but Paul navigates it with ease, and channels the love and passion that these books elicited in their owners. No Christmas was complete without the DOCTOR WHO Annual, and Paul makes us realise why ..."
— David J. Howe, Telos Publishing
