The Time Gallery (comic story)
COMIC STRIP BOX *************************************************************
The Time Gallery is a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2012.
Summary
On the planet Darathos, the Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams visit an abandoned alien art gallery. It’s a Time Gallery that displays pictures of future selves, pictures from a few minutes or even years ahead. Amy looks worried in her picture and its not long before the travellers are hiding from the arrival of a group of Skavengers about to raid the gallery of its technology. Using Amy’s phone to take a ‘future’ picture a hasty departure is interrupted when Rory is captured by the Skavengers moments after finding a picture of himself with half a robot head! Having viewed the Doctors photos taken on Amys phone in the TARDIS they see an image of the Skavengers reacting to the flash on the camera. The Doctor and Amy attempt a rescue of Rory from being transformed - blinding the Skavengers with the phone’s flash. They manage to return to the safety of the TARDIS as the gallery’s defence mechanism (previously blocked by the Skavengers), is reactivated and explodes around them. With the gallery and the Skavengers destroyed the Doctor believes it is a good thing – far too many spoilers!
