Right. So this is where the Pex strip kicks in and becomes a double act, setting up what TSV editor Paul Scoones would call 'the odd couple', and basing itself on an old fan rumour (did it make it into DWM, by chance?) that Paradise Towers would be based around the idea of Cybermen in the basement of the Towers. Did Gareth Roberts half-inch that idea for Closing Time? I don't care - I mean, I don't know, but it was appealing enough to me in 1999 to turn into a story and so here we are. Eagle-eyed readers familiar with the original TSV version may notice that this is a redo - Krang's look was really inconsistent in the early strips, and thee are a couple of panels in the old version where his character is a bit 'off' in his posture, so the strip got redrawn, the deadline shifted, and here we are (it's New Year's Eve as I write this folks - never believe the date stamp)
