Doctor Who Classics #5
This volume collects IDW's Doctor Who comic stories featuring the Tenth Doctor, as originally published in the Doctor Who Classics series. It includes adventures written by Gary Russell and illustrated by Nick Roche, among others, continuing the publisher's reprints of classic Doctor Who comic strips from the UK's Doctor Who Magazine and related publications.
"Lunar Lagoon [Part 1]" kicks off a gripping chapter in the Doctor Who Classics series, with Steve Parkhouse’s sharp writing and Mick Austin’s vivid artwork bringing the Time Meddler’s sinister scheme to life. As the Doctor races to stop a future catastrophe tied to a powerful crystal, the TARDIS becomes both weapon and shield in a high-stakes showdown that reshapes the battlefield—leaving only a chilling hint of what’s to come. Robert Hack’s striking cover captures the tension, while the story unfolds with the precision and mystery that define the classic era.
In "4-Dimensional Vistas, Part II," the Doctor and Jo find themselves caught in a temporal storm near an arctic installation, where parallel Earths ripple into existence. As the TARDIS materializes, a sudden blast from a cannon fired by an Ice Warrior and the Time-Meddler sends shockwaves through the time field—just as the truth about the anomaly begins to unfold.
In "4-Dimensional Vistas, Part V," the Doctor faces a chilling turn as SAG 3 invades the Ice Warriors' base, forcing the Time-Meddler into a desperate choice—order his own warriors' destruction to stop the enemy. With the Doctor rescued and his foes vanished into the distant future, the fate of the crucible hangs in the balance.
In "4-Dimensional Vistas, Part VI," the Doctor races against time to stop Autek’s plan to harvest a future crystal for a devastating sonic cannon, using the TARDIS to outmaneuver the Time Meddler and dismantle his schemes. With the Ice Warriors' ship destroyed and the Meddler banished to another dimension, the Doctor prepares to return Gus home—only for a SAG 3 soldier to quietly reveal a chilling prediction: Gus’s fate is already foretold.
In "The Moderator Part One," the Doctor and Jo find themselves on the run from the Gaunts after breaking curfew, only to plunge into a hidden tunnel just as capture seems certain. With the mysterious Moderator hunting the TARDIS on Dogbolter’s orders, their escape leads them deeper into an unknown network beneath the city.
In "The Moderator Part Two," the Doctor and Jo find themselves caught in a tense standoff on a mining planet, where workers are on strike and tensions are high. When they’re brought before the company’s ruthless owner, Dogbolter, the Doctor makes a bold move—revealing their true nature as time travelers to protect Jo.
In "The Moderator Part Three," the Doctor finds himself hunted once more when Dogbolter enlists the elusive Moderator to track down the TARDIS. Just as the Doctor returns Gus to his home world, the chase reignites—leading to a deadly confrontation and a moment of unexpected mercy when the wounded Moderator is left in a hospital.
In the isolated highlands of Skywatch-7, a routine meteorite alert turns tense when a soldier sent to investigate returns with unsettling behavior. As his U.N.I.T. comrades grow suspicious, they soon realize the man they know is no longer himself—something has taken his place.
