Harlan Ellison

Harlan Ellison (27 May 1934Famous Birthdays-28 June 2018Locus) was an American science fiction author who wrote a foreword for Pinnacle Books' range of Americanised Doctor Who Target novelisations, first published in 1979.
Pinnacle Books' range was tailored for American readers new to Doctor Who, which at the time of their publishing was relatively obscure among American sci-fi fandom. In his foreword Ellison declared his fandom for Doctor Who over other then-mainstream American sci-fi, and explained some of the basic concepts of the series for newcomers.
Ellison's foreword appears in the Pinnacle editions of the following novelisations:
# Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks
# Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon
# Doctor Who and the Dinosaur Invasion
# Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks
# Doctor Who and the Revenge of the Cybermen
# Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster
# Doctor Who and the Talons of Weng-Chiang
# Doctor Who and the Masque of Mandragora
# Doctor Who and the Android Invasion
# Doctor Who and the Seeds of Doom
