The fourth issue of The Essential Doctor Who was centred on the Master.
Publisher's summary
"When I cannot win by stealth, I shall destroy."
Having made his first appearance in 1971, the Master continues to match the Doctor's benevolence and ingenuity with a seemingly infinite capacity for evil. He has changed his face, and even his gender, but remains the most dangerous psychopath the Doctor has ever encountered.
Here, for the first time, is a complete guide to all the Master episodes in Doctor Who. This comprehensive publication also includes actor profiles, exclusive interviews, details of unmade stories and much more.
