CT 482 - Alan Stevens
Greetings from Earth!
Reports that say something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know.
One thing I do know is that Celestial Toyroom issue 482 is no longer an unknown quantity, as I've once again managed pull together a great team of writers (Michael Seely, Tony J Fyler, Fiona Moore, Ken Shinn, Jim Cooray-Smith, Ann Worrall and Robin Pierce) to tell us about fan politics, geopolitics, sexual politics, political allegory and the politics of fear in our favourite TV show, Doctor Who.
I'd also like to thank political cartoonist Smuzz for the wonderful wrap-around cover depicting man of peace Jeremy Corbyn about to smack the Collector from The Sunmakers over the head with a chair; and to also extend my thanks to another fantastic artist, JL Fletcher, for providing the superbly dramatic image of a Dalek for the colour postcard included with this edition.
Kindest regards,
Alan Stevens (with thanks to Donald Rumsfeld)
