The tale originally involved penny dreadfuls, a type of fiction commonly seen as the precursor to comics. After watching a DVD commentary of the show Angel, Scott Gray took note of a commentator who suggested removing the thing you like the most from a story to make it work. After discarding the penny dreadfuls, Gray found the story worked better. He also set it in the 1840s as gaslights were being introduced in London at that time and offered a back story.

  • The tale originally involved penny dreadfuls, a type of fiction commonly seen as the precursor to comics. After watching a DVD commentary of the show Angel, Scott Gray took note of a commentator who suggested removing the thing you like the most from a story to make it work. After discarding the penny dreadfuls, Gray found the story worked better. He also set it in the 1840s as gaslights were being introduced in London at that time and offered a back story. Some character changes were also made. A character named Molly became Penny Chapman and the ending was rewritten so that Jack did not die. In an overview of this comic published in The Flood graphic novel, Gray noted Penny had all the appropriate companion attributes: pretty, brave, had been in the TARDIS, but decided that Destrii was a better fit.
