The Doctor Who Annual 1978 by Paul Crompton
Text Stories: The Sleeping Beast, The Sands of Tymus, A New Life, The Sea of Faces
Comic Strips: The Rival Robots, The Traitor
Notes: The page count dropped back to 64. Sarah was again the Doctor's companion, though it is not possible to tell from the illustrations alone. Two separate stories (The Sleeping Beast and The Rival Robots) both feature similar-looking aliens with very large noses! The artwork was again mainly by Paul Crompton. A New Life bore no relation to the story of the same name in the 1976 annual. The Sleeping Beast was remarkable in that it features a reference back to the Doctor's Second incarnation. Almost half of this annual was taken up with puzzles, games and stock features about science and mythology.
