Notes

  • Ace's earrings are the Starfleet insignia from Star Trek.
  • From Distractions and this story onwards, the Doctor's question mark pullover disappears from the comic strip and is not seen again. This is in line with an increasing synergy with the New Adventures, in which the Doctor was often portrayed without the pullover.
  • Nicholas Courtney gave permission for the use of his likeness in this and the prelude story Darkness, Falling, on the condition that the Brigadier only appeared for a few frames.
  • The story was presented in full colour in the graphic novel The Mark of Mandragora.
