The Purrfect Crime (comic story)

Summary
The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond are chased by a boot-wearing Mummy up the side of a pyramid in Egypt. The Mummy is soon unbound and revealed to be a young man called Oliver, one of the security guards for the pyramids. They haven’t arrived in Egypt, but a giant museum. The blue sky is the ceiling and the pyramids nothing but replicas. Oliver was attacked by cat-like aliens, (the Sehkmets) and tied up while they stole the prize exhibit – a priceless Crystal Scarab. Having escaped with the scarab which they plan to sell to buy a battle fleet, the Sekhmets make their way to the top of a pyramid where an alien spaceship is waiting to leave through a hole in the ceiling. The Doctor uses Oliver’s bandages to lasso the scarab from one of the Sekhmets' hands. They leave empty handed. The scarab is returned to its podium for others to enjoy.
