Haven't really enjoyed the Dr Who strips since John Ridgeway stopped drawing the way back when. The current run are too much like saturday morning cartoons in art style for my taste.
I must say how much the Doctor looks like Austin Powers on the cover of this one! I got the last comic special and that was great so will have to buy this one. Great blog Lew!
