I've just read this for the second time. Any one of these stories would have impressed in the TV series, and the pattern is quite similar - far-future story, celebrity historical, big Earth invasion finale. The Doctor for me in these issues is still rather empty - I have to struggle to hear his voice when reading the dialogue. But that's the fault of TV executives rather than the comic strip.

The classic era goes out with a bang!

There's a nice variety of aliens which are interesting to look at and other than that,
