Note: The original print run was missing some labelling on a pair of graphs on pages 123 and 124. Corrected versions of the graphs can be seen on the Obverse website. The mistake does not affect the e-book edition, and will be corrected for future printings. Cover blurb: Originally titled ‘The Day God Went Mad’, Chris Boucher’s The Face of Evil (1977), features a giant stone idol of the fourth Doctor and the introduction of his ‘savage’ companion Leela. Viewing the serial through a psychological lens, this volume of the Black Archive puts the insane computer Xoanon on the couch for analysis, while also examining the stereotypes of ‘madness’, and Freudian explanations for behaviour, that pervade Doctor Who. Thomas L Rodebaugh is a psychologist and an associate professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Washington University. THE BLACK ARCHIVE: “A grandly ambitious thing to attempt with something as exhaustively detailed as (Doctor Who). But they actually manage it. Treat your bookshelf." |
