Notes
This strip was drawn by an uncredited artist who took his inspiration from the 1950s Ron Embleton story 'Rockinghams Tree' in the Bill Merrill series in Spaceman Comic. The characters and poses have been copied directly and framing, especially on the last page, is a 90% direct copy, but with the Doctor and company replacing the Spacemen.
