Plot[]
Having been tricked by a Time Traveller, Death's Head arrives at The 'Pool in 8162. His presence attracts the attention of Death Nell who suggests to Slaughterhouse that the stranger could be convinced to aid them in their hour of need. The Jones Boys, cousins Bob Jones and Rob Jones, are also witness to his arrival and think that he is a reinforment from the Evil Dead. The pair are easily dispatched by Death's Head after they attempt to torch him, as are the police officers who next arrive onto the scene. Death Nell is spared when she reveals her intention to hire the notorious bounty-hunter.
At N.U.R.S.E Dragon's Claw are introduced by Stenson to their new home base. Tension arose when Dragon began to question Stenson as to who was behind Dragon Claw's reactivation, but they were interrupted when Deller informed the team that their first assignment was to deal with Incinerator Jones and his gang. Privately Deller told Stenson that he had been sheilding calls from Dragon's wife, Stenson agreed that this was the correct thing to do as they couldn't risk Dragon being tempted back into retirement.
Meanwhile, the Jones Boys infiltrated the Evil Dead's base.

Notes[]
- This 22-page story consists of a reprint of the last page of the Marvel UK Dragon's Claws comic story Wild in the Country! followed by the comic story from the next issue, commonly called Here's Death's Head!, without its last page.
- The only connection of these 1988 Dragon's Claws stories to Doctor Who Universe was Death's Head's oblique mention of the Seventh Doctor and the events of The Crossroads of Time on the title page of the second story, "Tricked by a feeble time traveller and dumped here!" The mention was supplied with an explicit out-of-universe reference to "Doctor Who Magazine #135" in a footnote. This wiki did not consider such a reference sufficient to warrant the validity of the 1988 Dragon's Claws stories.
- The validity of the 1993 version printed in the first issue of The Incomplete Death's Head comic series is due to it being contained in-universe within the Death's Head Interactive Archive compiled by Hob on Maruthea. Accordingly, only this 1993 reprint can be referenced on in-universe pages. Other reprints, as well as most of the story in Dragon's Claws #4 and the character introduced on the last page of Dragon's Claws #5 remain invalid. Neither they nor additional information about valid characters originating from other issues of Dragon's Claws can be used on in-universe pages. For instance, Golding mentioned in the story should only be known by his last name because his first name is not present in the 1993 reprint.
- At least two explicit references to previous Dragon's Claws issues pointing to the existing backstories of Golding and Starick have been removed compared to the original versions. In the latter case, the asterisk remained visible.
