Ship of Fools was a comic story printed in Doctor Who Weekly. It was written by Steve Moore.
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
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.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Ship of Fools was the first of the back up strip stories not to be introduced and tailed by the Fourth Doctor as if recounting a story.
- The second and third editions of aHistory arbitrarily date Ship of Fools to 3500, the same general time period as TV: Terminus (both stories have ships with automatic pilots that span the galaxy).
