Doctor Who Classics, Volume 3

There are several stories in this trade paperback collection, with several Fourth and Sixth Doctor stories, and one with the Seventh Doctor. It is, I believe, mostly newly-colored strips from Doctor Who Magazine that appeared in the 80s. The one that really stuck most in my mind was "The World Shapers", a multi-parter with the Sixth Doctor, Peri, and Frobisher. Frobisher is a penguin most of the time, mind you. They wind up on the planet Marinus, where they run into a dying Time Lord, and then everything goes pear-shaped. They wind up going back to Second Doctor companion Jamie McCrimmon in Scotland, because the dying Time Lord said something the Doctor remembered in connection with Jamie and couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. Unfortunately, they get there about thirty or forty years later than they meant to, and Jamie is "Mad" Jamie and kind of old and broken-down. It actually hurt to see him like that. Then it turns out everything is to do with the Cybermen, and Grant Morrison is a terrible person who makes my head hurt.

I did quite like the Seventh Doctor story. It had a happy ending and helped the Doctor with an existential crisis. ( )
