Kklak! - The Doctor Who Art of Chris Achilléos was a book collecting every cover designed by Chris Achilleos for the Target Books novelisation range.
Publisher's summary[]
Kklak!: The Doctor Who Art of Chris Achilléos covers for the official Target novelisations, which began in the early '70s, defined a generation's image of the Doctor and his adventures — particularly after the show disappeared from British screens in the late '80s.
Lavishly detailed, with psychedelic overtones and an unapologetically pulpy sensibility, these covers perfectly captured the eccentric appeal of the classic series.
Kklak!: The Doctor Who Art of Chris Achilléos collects the entirety of Achilléos' Doctor Who artwork in chronological order, along with commentary from Achilléos himself (as well as some fans) — presenting the definitive guide to his seminal work. The book also includes a small contribution from twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi and a foreword from Achilléos' long-time friend and collaborator, the late Terrance Dicks.
