Protip: If you are going to complain about old Doctor Who comic strips featuring the Doctor resorting to violence to solve things...

2026note: Huh, Doctor Who... can't beleive I used to watch that shit.

Do try not to do it in a comic in which he recruits a couple of Ice Warriors to help him lead a mutiny on a slave ship...

...and then brush off his companion's concerns about them being left to roam the galaxy in a captured warship.

Mind you, though, how "notorious" is that line, really? Pre Doctor Who Weekly comics are generally disregarded entirely, and TV Comic is hardly one of the famous names in the pantheon of British comics, either. Copies are extremely rare and, because they contain classic Who material, extremely expensive. How many modern fans have even heard of that line, let alone seen the strip?

Was this editorial, in fact, an attempt to create notoriety for what was actually an incredibly obscure and forgotten part of Doctor Who lore? Now why might they want to write off and discredit the old versions by dragging a forgotten old fragment into the light?
