Tricky this, as it's now straight knockout.
I'm going to have to go with Smileys World, I think.

[Dark Jimbo]

Smiley's World is hugely important, but it's really only a small part of a bigger story. Besides, which one would I rather actually sit down and read? Doc Quince Case for a surety - BLAT!

DJ's areguments sway me - Doc Quince it is!

[Colin YNWA]

One day to go so get ya votes in.

Tough call this one Doc Quince represents one of the stories that best represents Strontium Dog to me. Smiley's World set up so much that came after and is a fantastic tale BUT ultimately its also more about what it sets up and so on that basis I just give this too
