I completely forgot to comment on this thread back in the day 
I wish some of this would have made it to the TV version.
7/10 = Good
The Star Beast is an energetic eight-part Doctor Who Weekly comic that introduced Sharon as a companion, gave us the first appearance of the adorable-yet-deadly Meep, and staged a finale where Blackcastle almost fell into a black hole. Compared to later adaptations, it’s pulpier and nastier: the Meep is a proper monster, the Wrarth Warriors are given quirks, and even K9 gets turned into a cat. Silly, scrappy, and spectacular in scale, it’s a landmark story in the Whoniverse’s comic history.
