Best of all, Harry Lindfield’s art is beautifully stylised, a great example of the British adventure strips of the time.įourth Doctor – Doctor Who and The Dogs of Doom If you can ignore the cod foreign accents (this was the 1970s, after all), Timebenders is an exciting little adventure that sees the Third Doctor dragged back to the Second World War – a period that the TV series wouldn’t visit for many, many years. ![]() In the bizarre world of TV Comic, the Second Doctor has been exiled to Earth by the Time Lords and is, er, taking part in a TV game show! All a bit mad – and that’s before Time Lord-serving scarecrows slaves turn up to force the Doctor to regenerate just in time for Spearhead in Space. Oh, and a TARDIS that spins like a top when it dematerialises. OK, so they were all pretty bad, but this is full of childish non-canonical charm, from the laughable Kleptons to the Doctor’s other grandchildren, John and Gillian. The first ever Doctor Who comic and the best of the First Doctor’s run of strips in TV Comic. Thank you to Cavan for compiling this! -EiC Aaron My Favourite Doctor Who Comics It’s a list of the best of the best featuring one story for each of the Doctors. ![]() Doctor Who writer Cavan Scott was kind enough to provide Comicosity with a list of his personal favourite Doctor Who comics. ![]() ![]() Pat, the dominant twin, manipulates things so that he gets selected as the crew member, much to Tom's annoyance. Testing shows that teenagers Tom and Pat Bartlett have this talent and both sign up. Before announcing the discovery, the foundation first recruits as many of these people as it can. The process seems to be instantaneous and unaffected by distance, making it the only practical means of communication for ships traveling many light years away from Earth. It is found that some twins and triplets can communicate with each other telepathically. Each starship has a much larger crew than necessary to maintain a more stable, long-term shipboard society, as well as provide replacements for the inevitable deaths. The vessels can continually accelerate but cannot exceed the speed of light, so the voyages last many years. It has built a dozen exploratory starships ( torchships) to search for habitable planets to colonize. The Long Range Foundation (LRF) is a non-profit organization that funds expensive, long-term projects for the benefit of mankind. The basic plot line is derived from a 1911 thought experiment in special relativity, commonly called the twin paradox, proposed by French physicist Paul Langevin. ![]() Heinlein published by Scribner's in 1956 as one of the Heinlein juveniles. ![]() Time for the Stars is a science fiction novel by Robert A. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments The way things work now review![]() ![]() ![]() For years, adults have extended the promise of total knowledge to students who apply themselves to understanding physical technologies like the steam engine, or the airplane. As the complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman writes in his recent book Overcomplicated: Technology at the Limits of Comprehension, the intricacy of modern technologies-the code behind the guidance system used to land planes-has made them opaque, even to people whose job it is to work with them. How does the Macaulay approach translate to the unseeable? ![]() The Way Things Work Now is longer than its predecessors it has a whole new section on all things digital. Now Macaulay has updated The Way Things Work, which was first published in 1988 and revised in 1998. In addition to co-writing The Way Things Work with Neil Ardley, Macaulay has also published a primer on the human body ( The Way We Work) as well as shorter books on individual masterworks of human engineering ( books about cathedrals, pyramids, toilets). Macaulay’s school-age readers have fewer and fewer everyday chances to witness the technologies of their world in motion. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments Werewolf by Caroline O’Donnell![]() ![]() Revealing the cunning and agile ways in which architecture can negotiate rather than resist change, this book departs from the fixed Vitruvian man and uses the figure of the werewolf to propose a model where changes of state, mutation, and decomposition are conceptually fundamental.Ĭaroline O’Donnell is an architect, writer, educator, and principal of CODA. Werewolf expands on the architect’s agency to critically address political, social, and environmental unrest. The shift from passive buildings to reactive structures is now imperative, as climate change and political turmoil exacerbate the unpredictability of environments. These ideas are studied through architectural precedents and framed by critical essays by Jesse Reiser, Greg Lynn, Jimenez Lai, Spyros Papapetros, Kari Weil, as well as the editors. ![]() Werewolf explores an emerging but under-investigated branch of architecture that embraces the transformation of form, performance, and the responsiveness to environments and context. As climate, culture, and technology evolve and become increasingly unpredictable, architecture’s stasis becomes more incongruous. ![]() |
