The Shark Shocker (comic story)

 was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2012.

Summary
While visiting the Pheezel Galaxy, the Doctor takes Decky Flamboon to Seacyde – planet of the Seasides. There, accompanied by their Tourbot for the day, are about to be relaxing when there is a huge splash when something falls into the sea. Taking a small boat, the three of them sail out to the site where the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver in the water to do a scan. But the sonic draws attention and a huge blue shark-like spacecraft comes to the surface and rising above the water smashes the boat and grabbed by long hooks, the three are taken aboard and placed in a giant bubble. The bubble contains the air in a ship filled with water. The alien crew explain that their ship, the Maritimus Carcharias, transporting marine-life around the stars, had malfunctioned. Its defences, pilot it to the nearest sustainable planet. The Doctor’s sonic screwdriver had been detected and the crew need the Doctors help. The Doctor scans and fixes the ships computer system – problems with the fish’s micro chips it seems! Back on the shore the Doctor and his friends watch the shark-like ship leave the sea and return to the stars.
