The Lunar Tyk was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip.
Summary
Arriving at the Shackleton Crater on The Moon in 2039, two Earth astronauts in search of water find the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond already there. The crater, always on the dark side of the moon has been probed to reveal a good source of ice. A torch is shone into the crater. There is no reflection of light from any ice, but the torches pick out something else in the dark, something that races out towards them. The Doctor holds off the creature long enough with his sonic screwdriver for the group to return to the spacecraft. Back at the ship the Doctor explains the creature is a Tyk, absorbing all light to grow. Using a solar panel from the ship the Tyk is tricked into a trap by Amy, who attracts its attention. She gets it to knock itself out by charging at a wall reflecting her image. Stunned, the Tyk is loaded into a rocket and fired into a permanent orbit around the sun, where it can feast and be happy. Amy makes the closing comment “Light meals. Very healthy”.
