Cuckoo was a Doctor Who Magazine comic story featuring the Seventh Doctor, Benny and Ace. Barring the coda of The Last Word, it was the last in the short run of DWM comic stories that attempted to hew to the continuity of the Virgin New Adventures.
It therefore featured a different Ace to the one otherwise seen in most DWM comic strips, since what might be called the "DWM Ace" died at more or less her Survival age in Ground Zero. The Ace here was the older, more "suspicious-of-the-Doctor" Ace of the New Adventures, and therefore had, amongst other things, an expanded vocabulary that was inconsistent with the televised/DWM Ace.
The story took advantage of having two independent, sexually-liberated female companions by having a story that was focussed clearly on gender politics. Not only was the story set in the dead centre of the Victorian era — giving Benny and Ace plenty of cause to object to their surroundings — but the character who espoused the most virulently anti-feminist ideas was shown to literally be a monster.
