Silent Knight (comic story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
(Redirected from Silent Knight)
Silent Knight was a one-issue comic story from the Doctor Who (2011) range. It was a Christmas-themed comic and featured Santa Claus and the Roboforms. Interestingly, there was no dialogue in the comic apart from the ending, giving the title a double meaning.
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Landing in a snowy landscape, the Doctor meets Santa himself, battles robot Santas, rides a sleigh through the skies of planet Earth and accompanies Santa as he travels across the world delivering gift. But not by sleigh - by TARDIS.
