Candy Jar has announced the release of an updated edition of Exterminart!, the art book by popular Doctor Who artist, Andrew Skilleter.
Featuring a menagerie of Dalek artwork from across Skilleter’s illustrious career, this Dalektable new edition also includes three brand new Dalek illustrations. Exterminart! offers fans an intimate look into Skilleter’s creative process, and is the ultimate collection of his Dalek artwork over the past 45 years.
First published in hardback in 2021, Exterminart! presented a curated collection of Skilleter’s Dalek artwork produced between 1979 and 2020. This 2025 paperback edition includes new artwork, rare sketches, and intimate commentary, offering fans the most complete collection of Skilleter’s Dalek illustrations to date. The book also includes a foreword by John Peel, who wrote numerous adaptations of Dalek stories, including The Evil of the Daleks and The Power of the Daleks.
Andrew Skilleter explains:
“My motivation for compiling this book was simple: to give fans a chance to see my work in one place, spanning decades. It’s about the journey I’ve had with the Daleks, and the fans who’ve supported me throughout it all. The new images in this edition are my way of paying tribute to these iconic characters that have stood the test of time.”
Shaun Russell, Head of Publishing at Candy Jar, shares his excitement about the updated edition:
“We’ve had the honour of publishing several incredible Doctor Who art books, but it’s always a special experience to work with someone like Andrew. His Dalek artwork is legendary, and with this new paperback edition, we’re giving fans a chance to experience it like never before. The addition of new art will make this an essential item for collectors.”
