The Screaming Prison (comic story)

Opening narration box
The Doctor and Martha have agreed to help stranded space warrior Thaur fight back against his enemies …

Summary
The TARDIS crew manage to locate Thaur the Warrior’s fellow warrior king (Vulsturg the Vast) on an unnamed planetoid bound to a large rock. When they go to untie him, the slimy green rocks (actually flying creatures), start to emit a deafening noise, a piercing and painful scream. By reversing the sonic field of three hearing aids that the Doctor picked up on the planet Wispah, the noise is blocked out and they are able to untie the unconscious Vulsturg. But the screaming creatures weren’t the primary jailer. They were an alarm for a much bigger, green and savage beast. As the beast attacks the Doctor manages to climb up on its head and attach the three hearing aids, one to each of its three ears which are mounted on top of its head. Using his sonic screwdriver to return the hearing aids to a normal setting, the beast is overcome by the amplified sound of screaming and rendered unconscious. With the hearing aids now shorted out the Doctor, Martha, Thaur (and now Vulsturg), leave in the TARDIS to find the third warrior before the beast awakes.
