Mr Nobody (comic story)
Mr Nobody was the first and only comic strip — and sixth work of fiction — originally published in the Doctor Who Annual 2006 in September 2005 by Panini UK and the BBC. The comic was written by Scott Gray.
Plot
The Vandos Tribunal teleports Phil Tyson to their ship to execute him for crimes committed against the Vandosians. The crimes were committed by the Vandosian Shogalath, who has re-incarnated into Phil Tyson. The Doctor and Rose arrive and help Phil escape, but not before damaging the ship's weapons so their ship will self-destruct when they try to fire.
The Doctor reveals to Phil that the crimes Shogalath committed were spreading peace to the Vandosians and beginning an enlightened age for them. The Doctor compared him to Gandhi or "King". After being dropped off, Phil heads off a bolder man, now knowing the future isn't something you wait for, it's something to find.
