Seaside Rendezvous (comic story)

Seaside Rendezvous was a Seventh Doctor comic story printed in DWMS Summer 1991.

Summary
Following newspaper reports of mysterious disappearances, and a story from a 19th-century ship's log, the Seventh Doctor takes Ace to a British beach to wait for something bad to happen. There, while firemen struggle to extinguish a fire in a nearby building, a monster made of sand rises from the waves and kills a hot-dog vendor. Ace holds the creature off until the Doctor and the firemen can spray it with water, dissolving it. The Doctor reveals that the creature was an Ogri, which had been worn down to sand and given form by the skeleton of a sailor it had consumed in the 19th century. He uses the sand to put out the fire, ensuring that the Ogri will not reassemble itself.
