Notes
- This story was reprinted in Doctor Who Marvel Adventure Comic 3 and in Voyager.
Continuity
- The Draconians appear in this story, for the first time since their sole televised appearance, in TV: Frontier in Space. This incarnation of the Doctor would meet the Draconians again in AUDIO: Paper Cuts.
- Although not immediately evident here, Kaon met the Doctor previously during the Skeletoid crisis first seen in COMIC: Kane's Story. For the Doctor, these events would occur in reverse. The Time Lord would see the Draconian nobleman die, first, and meet him in his youth later.
- Frobisher's casual attitude to death will change by COMIC: Time Bomb. In no small part, as a result of the consequences of this adventure.
