Axos is boring. Mawdryn Undead is lazy. Ribos has a drunk/drugged up looking Tom. Massacre is a good looking cover but suffers from a wierd looking Hartnell, It's almost as if his head is too small...as if it's been photoshopped on.
So that leaves me with Tenth Planet, which I've always liked.

Another crap Davison cover!
The Massacre's not bad, but it doesn't look much like Hartnell, & i think Ribos is reasonable.
But even the 'Claws of Axos' cover which has a great drawing of the golden skinned Axon, can't complete against 'The Tenth Planet', which is one of my favourite covers of all.Last edited by Wayne; 26th Jan 2008 at 4:17 PM.

Tenth Planet is a good cover, though I don't like the original Cyberman design all that much.
Ribos Operation is pretty dire, well, the Schrivenzale is, the likeness of Tom is quite good.
Mawdryn Undead is another boring photographic cover.
Massacre has quite a striking image and is certainly the one I find most interesting here. I agree that Hartnell's head/face doesn't look quite right.
Claws of Axos is diabolically bad. Dull and cartoony, no thank you.
The Massacre gets my vote from this round.

I know what you mean, but i just think that cover is a particulary striking rendition of them. If nothing else they standout because they look so unusual. Like you, i prefer the later Cybermen design overall, (probably Invasion/Revenge best) but i always thought the cloth face & the souless eyeholes were quite eerie.

"Small head? I'll have you know that my granddaughter Susan tells me that I have a well-proportioned head, and so does Chesterfield. And I never take drugs, I'll have you know. Neither does Susan either, except for medicinal porpoises. I let her take this new-fangled Viagra; Susan says Chatterbox recommended it, it does a world of good for him aparrently. I must try some of it myself. It seems it's good for stiffness. Poor Chessington - he doesn't look old enough to be suffering from arthritis. Hmm?!"
Thank you Billy...
Anyway, Mawdryn *yawn*. The rest are reasonable, except for Tenth Planet. Great Cybermen, great composition.

Tenth Planet blows the competition away. Massacre is passable, Ribos is awful, Axos garish, Mawdryn worse.

Apart from 'Mawdryn Undead', all of the covers are pretty reasonable, but 'The Tenth Planet' is s striking, classic image, and it gets my vote.

Gotta admit, it's pretty close thing for me. I think i prefer the visual look of the Inavsion/Revenge ones. Especially the heads. But i definitely prefer the voices & the overall feel of the Moonbase/Tomb ones. I agree, they're most eerie & menacing, & i prefer those 2 stories as well.

RALPH IN "I'M NOT VOTING FOR A PERTWEE COVER!" SHOCK!!! IN FACT, IT'S GARBAGE!!
Artistically, I probably should vote for 10th, but everyone else is, so it doesn't need my vote and I'm going for The Massacre, which I've always rather liked. And if it doesn't look quite like the Doctor, who's to say that's Who it is...?!

What a round of dull covers. John Geary has a strange style, and none of his covers work particularly well I reckons. Mawdryn is... oh god what were they thinking... dull. The Massacre is okish, but like the majority I'm going for The Tenth Planet.

I absolutely adore the Mawdryn Undead cover. It's so beige. Compared with the messy style of the older covers, it's clinical, pristine and modern (for the the eighties). It gives me a faint thrill of nostalgia even looking at it now.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

No I just think he ought to have a lie down for a wee while. Preferably anywhere that isn't beige.
