Peril on the Sea (comic story) was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.
Summary
Flashing his psychic paper the Doctor passes himself Amy Pond and Rory Williams off as passengers aboard a cruise ship on the planet Ockora. Marvelling at the aquatic life the rises above the sea waving the Doctor is horrified to find the ‘passengers’ suddenly firing, with the ships owner Arix, offering a hundred-credit bonus to whoever gets the biggest catch! Arix explains that this is a hunting expedition but is shocked when suddenly the cruiser is rocked by an attack from beneath. The Ockorans, usually such a docile race have begun to fight back and in an attempt to sink the ship puncture the hold and the cruiser begins to sink fast. Rory guides the passenger to the safety of the TARDIS but the Doctor and Arix are thrown overboard. The Doctor is captured by the scarred protector of this world, a huge sea creature, determined to avenge the persecution of his kind by the ‘tormentors’. While the Doctor pleads with the creature Arix shoots it from behind. The Doctor swears to make sure this never happens again and rising to the surface rejoins Amy and Rory onboard a floating TARDIS. With Arix and the other ‘passengers’ all board, the Doctor keeps to his word and takes them to the local branch office ‘Galactic Security’ that justice may be done.
