It’s back to the 1970s for the TARDIS journey we never saw this week, as Doctor Who Magazine exclusively reveals the story behind a bizarre and long-lost adventure starring Tom Baker as the Doctor!
Unfortunately, there’s no full comic strip this issue, although we do get more of Lew Stringer’s bonkers “Daft Dimension” cartoon on the Letters Page – but the main strip is back and firing on all cylinders in September, as we previously reported.
