Once Upon a Time Lord was a Sixth Doctor comic published in Doctor Who Magazine. It is notable for having several pages written out in story form with accompanying comic panels. With its end, it concluded both the Voyager and Astrolabus themes that had started in this incarnation's second strip, Voyager.
Summary
On the trail of Astrolabus, the Sixth Doctor and Frobisher find themselves in a land of make-believe where nothing is real.
Plot
Part 1
The Doctor heads into The Cabinet of Astrolabus to retrieve Frobisher. As the Doctor exists the TARDIS, he is attacked by a dark rider who attempts to kill him, but he rides away after the Doctor ducks. The Doctor finds Frobisher, who insists the Doctor come and meet his 'friends,' but the Doctor resists, saying that he doesn't trust Astrolabus, and warns Frobisher that he believes that the reality they are in isn't real.
Meanwhile, Astrolabus watches them from inside a carnival, where children watch the Doctor and Frobisher. Astrolabus instructs them to put on their 'thinking caps' so that they can control the story.
In the forest, the Doctor and Frobisher meets Brock, who gives Frobisher a worm. They soon come under attack, and the natives try to cook and eat Frobisher.
Characters
References
- Three pages of part 1 use a picture book style with captions instead of speech bubbles. All the captions rhyme and text at the bottom of the page gives more detail. These pages have the titles: "Frobisher Eats a Worm", "Frobisher Wishes He Hadn't" and "He Who Hesitates is Lunch".
- When Astrolabus runs away from the Doctor through a dimension gate, he flees into a house. When he enters the house, there is a lamp that is shaped like the Doctor's TARDIS.
- The Doctor unwillingly quotes The Lord of the Rings when he is attacked by the clocked horse rider; stating "By Elbereth and Luthein, you shall have neighter the ring nor me!"
