The Living Ghosts (comic story)

Opening narration box
The Daleks are about to crush the Doctor!

Summary
The Daleks attempt to exterminate the Doctor, but their beams pass straight through as the Krikoosh extends its intangible influence and they safely make their escape. Responding to a Dalek threat, the Police turn up at the Dalek base and the Daleks go on the offensive. The Doctor passes the Krikoosh safely back to the zoo's head keeper. The Doctor is puzzled when the Daleks retreat inside the building, seemingly not interested in the Krikoosh. As the Daleks activate a proton cannon, the Doctor realises it was not the Krikoosh the Daleks were interested in but the shielding formula of the cage. Without this formula and the material, the Daleks too have no protection from their intangibility weapon. The Daleks now seem victorious as everyone around (including the Doctor) have no real substance. They are like living ghosts!
