Pier Head From Space (comic story)

 was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.

Summary
The Doctor takes Amy Pond and Rory Williams to the longest pier in the galaxy on the planet Arriman B the pierstretched up above the planet some ten thousand kilometres with its own gravity, heat bubble, and even space swimming. A pier whose only purpose was fun! Just as the Doctor is about to get in the ice creams the Pier is ripped apart and the appearance of a giant tentacled monster makes the demand for one million credits from the Pier supervisor. As the creature spells out its demands the Doctor seems to recognise the voice and names the creature as Ellis the Illusionist! At first the creature denies the Doctor’s accusation before finally giving in and turns off his illusionary disguise. Its not just Ellis’s appearance that was an illusion so to was the breakup of the pier! Ellis explains that his illusionary act was cut by the pier supervisor for being dull. This had left Ellis without work and down on his luck. However, so impressed was the supervisor by Ellis’s stunt that he was re-employed and having been assured by the Doctor that “kids like a little scare every now and then!” Ellis the Illusionists act became a roaring success.
