This is an inoffensive, but vanilla abridgement of Home Sweet Home. The illustrations are blandly appealing, with nothing to allow them to stand out from all the other works. The best I can say is that Mole and Ratty are attractive. (This is something not all illustrators hew to.). I picked it up cheaply because i’m A compleatist for this work.

This is an anthology including comic and illustrated-prose stories about each of the (at the time of publication) six Doctors. The quality varies *widely*, both in the writing and the art, but a few of the stories are actually good. I don't know that the overall average is actually good enough that I'd recommend the book, though it does make an interesting coffee-table conversation piece. If you're the sort of person who'd have Dr. Who comic books on the coffee table.
