The Steel Web was a Doctor Who Adventures comic story featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond are en route to see the beautiful orchards of Pomarius when the TARDIS gets trapped in a giant metal spider web. The Doctor arms himself and begins cutting through the web. Amy notices someone trapped in the web. The Doctor frees the captive and they retreat inside the TARDIS.

The newcomer is called Heldan, a farmer on Pomarius. His people created the cyborg spiders to help deal with an attack by fruit flies. However the spiders got out of control and spun their web across the whole planet.

The spiders are programmed to hunt fruit flies, so the Doctor makes up a foul smelling purple mixture and "pours it into the engines", making the TARDIS smell like fruit flies. When the TARDIS takes off, the spiders are drawn into space, heading for an uninhabited world where they can spin their web without harming anyone.
