'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a [[Sixth Doctor]] comic published in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. It was the second consecutive script to be themed around the [[Skeletoid]]s. It largely featured [[Abel Gantz]], with the Sixth Doctor, [[Frobisher]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]] relegated to non-speaking roles. After being introduced here, Gantz would appear in ''[[The Warrior's Story (comic story)|The Warrior's Story]]'' and ''[[Frobisher's Story (comic story)|Frobisher's Story]]''. | |||
