Story notes

  • This story is unusual in that there is no dialogue until the last two pages (due to the Doctor and Majenta temporarily losing the power of speech).
  • Majenta's name is not mentioned at all during this comic.
  • Unlike previous strips, Majenta's attitude towards the Doctor is noticeably more friendly.
  • This was voted in the 2009 Dr Who Magazine survey as the least popular comic strip that year.
