Given its simplicity it would be easy to undersell how impactful this little two part comic is. We’ve seen this story in a few forms (plot: a monster consumes the Doctor, then realises they have bitten off more than they can chew.) but it’s done with such style and beautiful prose.

Kids in 1980 seeing the four Doctor’s regress into each on that iconic single page must have been wowed. They’ll definitely have felt they’d gotten their monies’ worth (especially consisting the 12 pence cover price for DWM at the time!)
