In this hefty volume of stories that feature the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Doctors:
Some stories are okay.
Some stories start okay but only do something minorly interesting with the ideas.
Some stories have good ideas but pad out them, changing them into boring narratives.
Some of the narratives could be more compelling.
Overall, none of the stories stood out to me. None are memorable.

The worst thing to ever happen to Doctor Who.

A collection containing stories of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Doctors, originally printed in Doctor Who Magazine and colorized here.
The Fourth Doctor stories at the start of the book are mostly pointless and only “okay” in and of themselves. They’re more important for how they set up adventures for the Fifth Doctor.
The Fifth and Sixth Doctor stories are the highlight of the book as they’re very different from happened on television but still plausible. The Fifth Doctor is shown as without companions (or with them safely stowed) and living a happy life as an English gentleman of leisure when trouble comes a-calling. The Doctor gets two temporary companions in here: A medieval knight named Sir Justice and a World War II pilot.
The Sixth Doctor stories take him on epic cosmic adventures. This collection is most noteworthy for introducing the character of Frobisher, the shape shifter who would settle into the default form of a penguin. The portrayal of the Sixth Doctor is a bit more balance than what we had on TV.
Overall, these are very enjoyable stories which offer a different spin on two Doctors that didn’t necessarily receive the best treatment on Television but made up for it somewhat in comics.

Some good stories, a lot of dulls. Enjoyed Junkyard Demon and The Shape Shifter. Frobisher is a fun but underutilized character, you'd think a shape shifting companion would do more shapeshifting after their first appearance. Some stories in the middle, particularly The Neutron Knights, were unnecessarily text-heavy with several sentences describing what's being shown in a panel.

Corny (it is an 80s comic) but pretty good, and it IS Doctor Who. Frobisher was pretty awesome too...
