Terrorformer was the first story of Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor comic strip series published in 2014.
Summary
Freshly regenerated and with a new head full of unanswered questions, the Doctor whisks Clara Oswald away to a strange and distant world.
Clara thought she was in for an evening of marking essays on the Metaphysical Poets, followed by going out on a date – or at least trying to. You know, normal stuff.
Instead, she’s facing down exotic flora and fauna in her best dress, backing up the Doctor on a trek through traumatically alien undergrowth – and she doesn’t even know what the Doctor is searching for, or what will try to kill them should they find it!

Characters
References
- The Twelfth Doctor voices an observation to Clara that humans are too obsessed with their own image. He notes procedures such as chemical peels, liposuction, buttock lifts to be akin to a Sontaran torture chamber.
- According to Clara, the Doctor's sonic screwdriver doesn't work on dead-bolts, including the lock on her flat.
- The robots sing an altered version Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, altering the lyric to "Let's jump the time tracks again!"
Notes
- The cover to #2 alludes to Peter Capaldi's description of the Doctor as "100% punk rebel Time Lord", showing a graffiti version of the Doctor painted on a wall.
