Sky Pirates!, 1995, Dave Stone
Otherwise known as “the one with the Roger Langridge illustrations.” Or “that really weird one.” The TARDIS crew find themselves in a logically impossible star system in which everything seems to run on bad jokes and insane improbabilities.
It’s Doctor Who as filtered through Robert Rankin, maybe with a side order of Terry Pratchett, which means you think it’s either brilliant or the worst thing ever.
I rather like it, myself.

Wow. That painting of Sylvester McCoy is seriously freaking me out.
It’s the eyes and the mouth. Especially the mouth. An deep unholy abyss that’s staring back at you.
And is het really fighting a scorpion with a buttplug-umbrella inside an stomachmuseum?
That Doctor: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I’m gonna say “brilliant”. Love Stone’s use of huge words and convoluted descriptions, and some of the visual concepts he throws out here are just amazing.
