Swarm of the Zenith was a comic story published in Doctor Who: Battles in Time. It was written by Neil Corry.
Opening narration box
The Doctor and Donna face possessed humans!
Summary
When possessed Police officers turn against him, the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to interfere with the signal they are receiving. The officers collapse to the floor.
The Doctor and Donna make their escape, but outside, all the people are also chanting and turn on them. They cannot reach the TARDIS so they "borrow" a space-car to escape. The Doctor warns Donna that whatever the Zenith is, it has taken over a London population of around twenty-three million people, possibly even the whole world. Suddenly above the city, the space-car's comms system kicks in, and a holographic head chants, "The Zenith will not be denied!"
Having detected the Doctor and Donna, the Zenith cuts power to the space-car and it heads downwards! ...
Characters
References
- The Doctor and Donna fly past a bus bound for Putney Common.
Notes
- Supporting the series of collectible Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine carried a regular four page comic strip of the Tenth Doctor's adventures.
- The limitation of only four pages meant that stories often lacked depth compared to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
- The artwork and colours were bold and bright, reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as did Doctor Who Adventures, reflected the appeal to readers younger than those catered to by Doctor Who Magazine.
- The Battles in Time comic strip sought to reinforce the association of its Doctor with the one seen on screen with "props" from the TV series: blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
