Summary

Whilst leaving a many tentacled green creature to be blown up, the doctor having arrived in 15th Century Italy, decides to pop-in and visit his friend Leonardo da Vinci.

The list contains a number of items that the Doctor finds puzzling and together they climb a back wall to reach Leonardo. The wall has been electrofied-200 years before its time!

When the Doctor tries to intervene one of the robots grabs him by the throat...

Notes

  • Supporting the series of collectable Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine title, carried a regular 4 page comic strip series of the Tenth Doctor’s adventures.
  • The limitation of only 4 pages meant that stories often lacked some depth in comparison to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
  • Style wise, the artwork and colours were bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as with Doctor Who Adventures, it reflected the appeal to younger readers than that catered for by Doctor Who Magazine.

References

  • The Battles in Time comic strip often sought to reinforce the Doctor character with that as seen on screen by utilising various ‘props’ used in the TV series. Namely; blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
