Summaries

From an ad in Up Bubble #8: "In search of a little R&R, the Master lands on a planet where everyone dresses like the Fourth Doctor. You call this a vacation? 36 pages, digest-sized, professionally typeset and professionally illustrated."

From Bill Hupe's catalog: "The Master decides to spend his winter vacation on the planet Yyrikk, but doubts the wisdom of his choice when he discovers its inhabitants have emulated the Fourth Doctor in every way. The Sixth Doctor adds to the confusion when he also comes to Yyrikk and is surprised to find the Master in jail."

From an ad: "Imagine a planet with a society so taken by the flamboyant nature of the Fourth Doctor that it has decided to emulate him in every way... (it's called Yyrikk)... and imagine the Master's reaction to this place when he decides to take a vacation there... (but ends up in jail for breaking their most sacred law instead...)... and imagine the ensuing confusion when the Sixth Doctor comes to Yyrikk... (and the Master needs him as a character witness!)
