Ship of Fools (comic story)

Ship of Fools was a comic story printed in Doctor Who Weekly. It was written by Steve Moore.

Summary
Drifting lifelessly through space, Kroton the Cyberman passes through a time warp (which looked like a miasmic cloud) that hides a cruiser ship the Flying Dutchman II. Taken aboard he is recharged by Willoughby, Rolf, Krylic, Leonart and Cassandra. All of them are caught in a timeless existence, bored and seeking a release. Kroton offers to help them and reactivates the robot pilot to take them to a nearby planet and breaking the time warp. Unfortunately they had been trapped 628 years and rapidly age to death. Kroton is once again drifting alone in space, with only the robot pilot for company.
