Characters[]

Worldbuilding[]

  • Time Lord bodies are very malleable under the right conditions.
  • The Daleks recognise Ace in their archive.
  • The Doctor creates a telepathic link with a Dalek.

Notes[]

  • Ace wears a skin-tight combat outfit and handles weapons, implying a Virgin Era Ace. However, Interweaving with the New Adventures places this story after Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark.
  • The title is a reference to the Franz Kafka story of the same name, which tells the tale of a man transforming into an insect and the horrified reactions of those he knows.
  • This comic was reprinted in the Panini graphic novel The Age of Chaos.
