K9 Annual Vol 1 1

The K9 Annual was published by World Distributors in late 1982 and dated 1983, though it was effectively a tie-in to the 'K9 & Company' TV pilot originally broadcast a year earlier on December 28th 1981 (K9 & Company was the first televised Doctor Who spin-off show, though it was never picked up for a full series). Like the TV pilot, the annual starred robot dog K9 and his mistress, former Doctor Who companion Sarah Jane Smith, though the limited reference material available meant that a disproportionate number of stories appeared to focus on K9 fighting robed cultists as he had in the TV pilot! The stories in the annual are uncredited, as World Distributors annuals invariably were.
