How to Build a Dalek

A fine Frank Hampson illustration from the Radio Times Doctor Who 10th Anniversary Special 1973. I love the little details in the penwork: the fingers and Jon Pertwee's hair and the rendering of the round blobs on the foreground Dalek. I like the circuit board design in the architecture behind.

The image well and truly nicked from the Lost Characters of Frank Hampson site.

    Hm. Some Bellamy Who.... I don't think I have any in my collection, but I can probably forage some from somewhere.
