to be added
Characters
- Seventh Doctor
- Ace
- The Captain
- Doctor Harding
- Black Dalek
- Red Dalek
- Liddell
- Lyons
Worldbuilding
- Time Lord bodies are very malleable under the right conditions.
- The Daleks recognise Ace in their archive.
- The Doctor creates a telepathic link with a Dalek.
- The angular TARDIS control room appears.
Notes
- Ace wears a skin-tight combat outfit and handles weapons, implying a Virgin Era Ace. However, Interweaving with the New Adventures places this story after Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark.
- The title is a reference to the Franz Kafka story of the same name, which tells the tale of a man transforming into an insect and the horrified reactions of those he knows.
- This comic was reprinted in the Panini graphic novel The Age of Chaos.
Continuity
- The Doctor mentions Earth's genetic pool becoming "muddy" after the Draconian Wars. (TV: Frontier in Space)
- The Doctor's mutating body emits Numismaton Gas. (TV: Planet of Fire)
- The Daleks are creating Human/Dalek hybrids (TV: Revelation of the Daleks) to add a Human Factor to their design. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks)
