So we return to the TV comic, and it is much less fantastical than last time.

The Doctor and Jamie get chased by some quarks inside a jungle, and not even a cool alien jungle, but a modern day one in Africa. That's it.

It's not bad, but it's also a nothing of a story. The Doctor and Jamie run around a bit until they steal a bulldozer from a construction site nearby.

It says a lot about the quarks that they're easily defeated by a bulldozer.

The only notable thing about the comic is the insensitive 60s crap that you wouldn't find today, like the quarks employing stereotypical native tribes as their foot soldiers and the Doctor killing an innocent leopard that wasn't doing any harm.

I'm still not over that.

No, the most interesting thing about the comic is the 6B meta stuff surrounding it but that's not really the focus here.

I would recommend the TV comics as a whole but this one, in particular, isn't anything special.
