It was written by Alan Barnes, who had been responsible for writing many Izzy stories in Doctor Who Magazine.
Publisher's summary
TARDIS travel opens one's eyes to a universe of possibilities, reckons the Doctor. For geek girl Izzy, it's also a fantastic way to track down ultra-rare back copies of Agrotron!, the most dangerous comic in history...

References
- Izzy frequently watched Star Trek: The Next Generation on VHS before travelling with the Doctor.
- When the Doctor was trying to guess why Izzy had requested a trip to 1988 Stockbridge, he incorrectly guessed that they may have returned to England to investigate "cattle mutilation over at Old Man Harvey's farm."
- Izzy tries to find the extremely rare 56th issue of Aggrotron.
- Grakk and his artist were accused of corrupting the youth on his planet with his comic, causing all sorts of mayhem. This led to him and his artist moving to Earth to continue making comics. When the Doctor shuts down the comic Agrotron, commenting on how the kids on Earth are more than capable of ruining their own minds, Grakk goes to plan B, making video games. This mirrors the modern day argument over how video games corrupt the minds of the young, being more or less the same as the arguments made by Fredric Wertham in the 1950s over how comics were corrupting the youth of America.
Notes
- This story was recorded on 30 and 31 October, 2008.
