About Face (comic story)
About Face is a comic strip from Doctor Who Adventures issue 166.
Summary
Arriving onboard a spaceship, the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond are soon attacked by a creature referred to as ‘the Charonid’ by the ship's only conscious crewmember, Cormac, who fires a stun pistol. The Charonid runs off. Cormac explains it knocked out all the other crew, but when the Doctor and Amy find the unmarked body of the pilot they are suspicious. The Doctor recalls the Charonid being body swappers and with the pilot having been stunned, the Doctor guesses that Cormac is the Caronid. Cormac is about to fire when the real Cormac (in the Charonid’s body), arrives but is caught in the Doctor’s force-field trap. Cormac is returned to his own body, but the Charonid may have escaped into another body. When Amy goes to pull the lever that will destroy the Charonid, there is a discharge of energy that swaps Amy and the Charonid back to their own bodies. The Doctor rightly guessed that Amy would never have pulled the lever. Furthermore her eye colour had changed to red.

Notes
- The DWA comic strip adventures were very much aimed at a younger audience and the artwork and colours were bold and bright, reflecting the tone of the magazine.

Errors
When The Doctor and Amy first meet Cormac in the Charonoid's body, his eyes are red (like when the Charonoid switched bodies with Cormac and Amy) and it screams like it is about to attack, but on the next page, its eyes are yellow and it looks scared.
