A fun title, a great TARDIS team and an appearance from Clement Atlee are all elements of this fun comic strip from Doctor Who Adventures.

The 10th Doctor and Donna arrive in Battersea 1951 and find themselves hunting a mysterious blob which is terrorising the locals. The police constable who alerts them to the problem mysteriously disappears and then they meet Edna, a unassuming housewife.

Unsurprisingly, the constable and Edna both turn out to be the blob in human disguise. It is a shape-shifter but it is trying to actually find a way to prevent her kind from invading the planet having realised the horror of what they do. Doctor Who Adventures’ comic stories often have a grotesque monster that turns out to be misunderstood but this one actually does something with it, using Edna, and her partner, to help save the day when the blobs attack Parliament and take over the Prime Minister, Clement Atlee.

The 10th Doctor and Donna are written fairly well – and the image of Donna driving a motorbike and sidecar is huge fun.

Unusually, this story is told across three issues of the magazine which gives the story time to breathe and to establish the setting pretty well. It’s dark, a little fogbound and does give a good sense of time and place.

All in all, a fun comic strip.
