Skywatch-7 (comic story)

Skywatch-7 was a comic story published by Marvel Comics. It was written by Maxwell Stockbridge.

Part one
On 12 December 1985, UNIT Arctic base Skywatch-7 with UNIT Command loses radio contact after a meteor landing is detected. John Campbell goes out to investigate, leaving Tobey in charge, but returns having found no sign. In the night John smashes up the radio link and fearful of a lighter flame runs outside. When the other soldiers (Captain Hawks, Lederer, Tobey) follow, they are faced with a Zygon.

Part two
Going in pursuit, the soldiers witness changing footprints in the snow, indicating that the creature can change shape, and follow them to the vehicle shed. Wrongly shooting the real Campbell who is wandering around dazed, they drive the alien creature onto the ice with gunfire and send it sinking beneath the frozen waters.
