Lucky Heather (comic story)
Summary
At midnight in the Science Museum, London, former companions of the Tenth Doctor, Heather McCrimmon and Wolfgang Ryter find themselves reunited in a battle against a ‘creature’ built from museum parts held together by the alien microbes inside a meteorite that are creating a form using a psychic signal. Wolfie trapps the creature with the magnet of a huge crane while Heather bundles up the meteorite in a Stealth Blanket, blocking the psychic link. But as the two friends are talking about, and remembering old times, they fail to notice the meteorite breaking out from beneath the blanket. Another ‘creature’ is constructed by the psychic influence and it is only the Doctors timely appearance with a Mezon Energy Marble powerful enough to ignite the engine of an exhibit that, with a blue blast disintegrates the meteorite. Before they get a chance to speak to the Doctor he is gone their last sight of him saying a final goodbye from the TARDIS doorway.

Notes
- The DWAM comic strip adventures were very much aimed at a younger audience and the artwork and colours was bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine.
- Self-contained one-part stories were the norm.
- The story is set during The End Of Time Part 2, when The Doctor went to see his companions before he regenerated.
