City of Light (comic story)

Summary
On Luminous the Doctor and Heather arrive, where she is surprised by the brightness and the cheesiness of the name. The Doctor explains this is just what the humans call it, whilst in reality it is a dead planet in the Higlag system, whose citizens dedicate their lives to knowledge. Suddenly an alarm sounds and the citizens of Luminous begin running around. Outside purple winged creatures attack the structure of Luminous and break in, whilst inside, the citizens fire upon the beings. The Doctor attempts to get them to stop shooting but to no avail. However, the creatures do not fight back but head to the bright centre of luminous. The Doctor explains these creatures feed on solar energy and devises a plan to get rid of them without killing them. He increases the lighting levels inside the TARDIS to maximum, making all the creatures rush inside. After they are all in he closes the Door and promises to take them to a nice bright quiet star
