The Terrible Zodin # 13 (Winter 2011/2012)

Happy New Year to all of you from the team at The Terrible Zodin.

As you've all be so good, here's a little treat for you - a BRAND NEW ISSUE!



This issue TTZ13 takes an in-depth look at Season 6 (the Matt Smith one!) with a series of essays and reviews of all episodes up to and including The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe. Old school fans need not worry that we're not catering for them though as we also take a look at Season 6 (the Patrick Troughton one!)

Also this issue we take a look at Polly and the Dolly Bird archetype, the special edition of Day of the Daleks and bring you an exclusive interview with Robert Smith? The truth about that question mark is now revealed!

Meanwhile The Caves of Androzani gets the No! Not the Mind Probe! treatment and the Back2theWhoture gang watch The Crusades and The Kings Demons.

Featuring full colour original artwork throughout and bringing you a varied mix of opinions from the wide spectrum of Doctor Who fandom, The Terrible Zodin has more David Banks for your buck or your money back.

TTZ13 will be the last for at least 6 months (Read the Editor's Note!) but fear not, we WILL return. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the zine, read the zine and supported the zine over the last three years. We hope you've enjoyed the ride. Feedback most welcome. Drop us an email at theterriblezodinezine@yahoo.co.uk, tweet us @TerribleZodin or join the group discussions on Facebook (TTZ (The Terrible Zodin))

Happy Birthday Doctor Who & The Terrible Zodin

23rd November. By a not at all coincidence today is not only the 48th Birthday of a very special show called Doctor Who but it is also the third birthday of The Terrible Zodin.

Congratulations to both! Thank you for being along for the ride, without your support and enthusiasm we wouldn't have chalked up 12 issues, with TTZ13 on the way in the next few weeks.

Seeking Submissions for TTZ13

We're now actively seeking submissions for issue 13 of The Terrible Zodin.

The theme is Season 6 (The most recent Matt Smith one that is rather than Quarks, Krotons and Space Pirates!) but of course we accept material on any aspect of Who in any era or medium.

No reviews of Season 6 stories please as we have that all sorted.

But yes please do get in touch if you wanna be part of the zine with your article ideas, artwork, poems, fiction, in-depth analysis or general silliness!

The deadline for submissions is Sunday 4th December 2011.

With our editor Leslie's PHD commitements 2012 will be Zodin-lite so if you've ever wanted to be part of the zine but have been a bit shy up till now, then now's your chance!

Contact any of the editing team here, on Facebook or Twitter, or by email to theterriblezodinezine@yahoo.co.uk

This issue we take a look at Doctor Who in the 1970s and pay tribute to Nicholas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen. We've Axons and Mandrels galore and the Master pops up too (of course!)

Also this issue we visit the exhibition at the Cartoon Museum, take a look at the Graceless spin-off series and compare A Christmas Carol to Inception. Vincent and the Doctor gets the No! Not the Mind Probe! treatment and we follow up on our recommendations of New Adventure novels.
