Doctor Which?

This story debuted with either the Second or Third Doctor, then was reprinted with the Fourth Doctor. It may have had different companions in the reprint, as well. From an in-universe point of view, it's unclear which Doctor lived through these events.

Summary

Notes

  • It is never explained how the children of the planet came to be left in the care of their android guardian.
  • David Leach provided colour for the DWCC 25 reprint.
  • The concept of the Doctor solving a series of puzzles in a forbidden alien city is also seen in TV: Death to the Daleks, which aired just a few months prior to this story's original release.
