Dusty Death (comic story)

Opening Tag
The TARDIS has brought the Doctor to an empty building on a barren alien world …

Summary
The Doctor’s arrival at a computer-controlled prison on an abandoned planet which has laid silent for centuries, does not go undetected. The automatic defence system is activated by his arrival, dodging spears, flooding chambers, laser beams, fire and gaseous guards (who are dispensed with by a cloud of dust the Doctor generates), the Doctor manages to find and overload the cell security. As the auto-repairs kick in the Doctor ponders who could have been in the empty cell and how he managed to escape. Safely back in the TARDIS the Doctor leaves, however a warning flashes on a screen that the prisoner and an unknown accomplice have escaped. The instruction to pursue and destroy is issued.
