'''''Prisoners of Time''''' was a 12-issue comic book miniseries produced by [[IDW]] to celebrate ''[[Doctor Who]]''{{'}}s 50th anniversary. Released monthly throughout [[2013 (releases)|2013]], each of the first eleven parts featured a different [[The Doctor|Doctor]], which led up to the [[Endgame (POT comic story)|final, multi-Doctor]] issue in [[December (releases)|December]].
== Publisher's summary ==
[[23 November|November 23]], [[1963]]: A day that changed the world forever. That day saw the broadcast debut of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', which was to become the longest-running science-fiction series on television. And now 50 years later, we pay tribute to one of the greatest pop-culture heroes of all time with this special series, which tells an epic adventure featuring all 11 incarnations of the intrepid traveller through time and space known simply as... [[the Doctor]].
 
==Plot==
===Issue 1===
A [[cloaked figure (Prisoners of Time)|Cloaked figure]] studies images of the Doctor in solitude. He reflects on the legacy of the Doctor, as well as what he is capable of. He then notes that the Doctor has always had friends, and that he will have to change that...
 
[[The TARDIS]] arrives is [[The Royal College of Surgeons]] in [[London]], [[England]] in the year [[1868]]. The [[First Doctor]], [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]], [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]], and [[Vicki]] step out.
 
The group has arrived to meet [[Thomas Huxley]], a friend of the Doctor's and [[Evolution|evolution]] supporter. After attending his lecture, they meet with Thomas.
 
Huxley is happy to see the group, but is soon called away. Thomas explains that he and some of his pupils must go searching the [[London Underground]]s for a group of missing students. The Doctor convinces him to let them come along.
[[File:Zarbi_in_London_Undergrounds_2.jpg|thumb|left|The group encounters the [[Zarbi]].]]
Some time later, the Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki arrive at the entrance to the London Undergrounds to help look for the students. They fins a fresh trail of footprints leading to a mysterious passage, covered in webs. Vicki begins suffering from headaches, something which last happened to her on [[Vortis]]. Barbara reminds her that they are far away from Vortis and that there can't be a connection. Suddenly, the group finds themselves surrounded by [[Zarbi]].
 
The group tries to fight them off, but the Doctor suggests against it, saying that going with them is the only way to find the missing students. Ian, Huxley, and the Doctor are split away from the rest of the group, who are given gold mind-control bracelets to wear. At the Doctor's suggestion, Ian and Huxley fight off the Zarbi and the trio escape.
 
After searching the tunnels, the Doctor finds the [[Animus]], who has reformed itself on [[Earth]] to get revenge on the Doctor. The Animus plans to take over Earth with an army of Zarbi drones, but before he can enact his plan he is hit by a [[train]] piloted by Ian.
[[File:Animus_hit_by_train.jpg|thumb|The [[Animus]] is hit by a [[train]].]]
The Doctor uses a portal to send the Zarbi home. After some debate, the Doctor convinces Huxley to keep quiet about what he has seen. Huxley leaves, noting that he hates leaving the Doctor alone. The Doctor notes that the Animus could not have reformed on its own, and that the portal used to bring it here was beyond its technological abilities. The Doctor suggests further investigation to his companions, but is shocked to find them missing.
 
=== Issue 2 ===
[[File:Many_types_of_Police_Boxes_1.jpg|thumb|The TARDIS in a section of the [[Frenko Bazaar]] for [[Police Box]]es.]]
The [[Second Doctor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]], and [[Zoe Heriot]] land the TARDIS in a shop filled with hundreds of [[Police box|police boxes]]. They learn from a [[Police Box salesman|salesman]] that they are in a Police Box section of the universal mega-mall,  the [[Frenko Bazaar]].
