Planet of the Dead was a Seventh Doctor comic published in Doctor Who Magazine.

Summary[]

The Doctor is on the planet Adeki, trying to fish, when he comes upon an old city of the Adekians. It is populated with metamorphic aliens. On meeting him, they take the shapes of his former companions (most of whom are dead), but then take the form of his previous selves.

Notes[]

  • The Gwanzulum shapeshifters were an idea by John Freeman that Richard Starkings decided to depict a "secret invasion" across multiple invasions. It was an attempt to see if anyone would notice.
  • This was artist Lee Sullivan's first Doctor Who comic. He got the job due to his likeness of Richard Branson in a Transformers comic.
  • The Doctor wonders if he has an appointment on Skaro, foreshadowing the events of the then-upcoming television serial, Remembrance of the Daleks.
  • The story was later reprinted in DWCC 14 with additional colours.
