The FloodNow travelling alone, the Doctor finds himself facing an outlandish line-up of aliens, monsters and ne’er-do-wells – from a lovelorn robot to murderous football managers, from a psychotic hippo to an urban legend of old London town!

Digitally restored and retouched comic strips, plus an incredible selection of bonus features:
