Text Stories: A New Life, The Hospitality on Hankus, The Sinister Sponge, Avast There!, The Mission Comic Strips: The Psychic Jungle, Neuronic Nightmare Notes: The arrival of Tom Baker's Doctor in the annuals also saw a further reduction in length by 16 pages and a change of artist. Paul Crompton took over the artwork on both the text stories and comic strips. Paul Green also contributed some of the illustrations. A third of the annual was taken up with stock features on such subjects as space travel and astronomy. Sarah and Harry were the companions in every story, but were unrecognisable from the artwork - Harry was even sometimes depicted with a moustache. The Brigadier and Benton each made a cameo appearance in one story. Only the Doctor and the Brigadier had good likenesses. Some of the drawings of the Doctor seem to have been based on photos of Tom Baker out of costume. The inaccuracies also extended to the text, with one story, The Hospitality on Hankus, featuring seats and seatbelts in the TARDIS console room! A Dutch language edition of this annual was produced in Holland, published in September 1975 by Mulder & Zoon B.V., with a slightly different cover design, featuring a plain blue background with the title 'Dr Who' in a yellow circle, but featuring the same photo.
