This was kind of fun. I felt a little "out of the loop," since I am not familiar with the earlier Doctors, but the story was meaty enough for me to enjoy even without all the backstory that a more avid/long-time viewer might bring to their reading.

I just finished hanging out with my fellow Whovian Androgums this weekend where we consumed many of the Doctor's adventures (in various regenerations) including: ENEMY OF THE WORLD. (That tidbit of information will connect to my review shortly. Promise).
In starting this graphic novel, I was expecting to see the 3rd Doctor in all his glory, UNIT, Brigadier, Jo, Mike, Benton (and yes, even Delgado's Master), and I was not disappointed! I easily slipped into their world as if I was watching their era of DOCTOR WHO on the television. What I was not expecting but loved just the same was the nods to THE THREE DOCTORS and to Osgood from THE DAEMONS (and also a relative of the contemporary Petronella Osgood). The moment Osgood took out his inhaler...ahhh...memories!
And then Paul Cornell and Christopher Jones went above and beyond and brought back Salamander!!! I was in Whovian heaven completely nerding out with glee! Cornell and Jones brought the classic 70s era to life, and I loved every minute of it! I know I'm gushing, but it cannot be helped!
