FAB1 Back in Action! (short story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
FAB1 Back in Action! was a short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe. Framed as the front page of an in-universe periodical, the titular article instead made reference to the Lady Penelope content in the issue with a smaller piece tying-in to the The Daleks comic story The Menace of the Monstrons.
Summary
Even as reports come in from Skaro that the Monstrons are attacking the Dalek City, other reports, coming from from the Isle of Arran indicate that Lady Penelope's car has been repaired and made fully operational. Once again in full possession of the means necessary to do so, Penelope Creighton-Ward thus resumes her chase for the "Hawk".
