Sandblasted (comic story)

 is a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2013.

Summary
Clara gets out of the TARDIS, disappointed, saying she wanted to go somewhere with a bit of sun and sand and the Eleventh Doctor takes her to the Sahara Desert. The Doctor looks back, to see a Bedoun Tribe running away, because they are scared of something. A man tells The doctor to flee from the Mighty Djinn, in which The Doctor says it is a mythical spirit, like a genie. When he says that, a sandstorm rises up, with red eyes and mouth, seeming to have a sort of body. The Djinn is sucking them in, in which the tribe members begs him to spare them. The Doctor takes out his sonic screwdriver, but he accidentally drops it. Clara gets it, and asks what to do, with the reply of the instructions to 'Press the top button twice and twist it clockwise'. The sandstorm vanishes for a bit, because of rain, but it won't be for long. The Doctor goes to the TARDIS to get equipment, but Clara sees something. She taps it and says it feels like metal. Meanwhile, the Djinn is blocking the TARDIS. The Doctor makes a pun 'Hello, Djinn, I see you've pulled yourself together!'. The Doctor uses his sonic and he disappears. Clara wonders where the Djinn went, in which he says he blocked the signal that came from the cloaked space pod. When he looks inside, he sees it is being controlled by a camel. The Doctor sends it on a one-way trip back to its home planet.
