Untitled (DWM 598 comic story)
An untitled comic story was published in issue 598 of Doctor Who Magazine, starring the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble and showing where else the Doctor's TARDIS went between The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"] and Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"] after Donna spilled her coffee on the controls at the end of the former.
The strip has a much different format than is usual for those in Doctor Who Magazine, in that it is made up of four parts published throughout the issue, with each part consisting of art spread across two pages.
Other notable aspects of the strip include that it saw the return of Donna as a companion for the first time since 2008. It also included cameo appearances by Wilfred Mott and Sylvia Noble, marking the former's DWM strip debut, and the latter's first comic strip appearance ever.
