Death's Head #8 - Doctor Who Crossover! Seventh Doctor Tardis Marvel UK F/VF HTF

Description: Death's Head #8 - The Only Marvel Doctor Who Crossover! - Marvel UK F/VF. In the 80's Marvel UK published original Doctor Who comics, a few of which were reprinted in the US in Marvel Premiere #57 - #60, but all set in the Doctor Who universe. Although published by Marvel, Doctor Who only crossed over into the Marvel Universe and met Marvel characters once and that is Death's Head #8. To my knowledge this issue wasn't reprinted in any collection or TPB and will most likely never be because of IP rights. Synopsis below: Time Bomb! Writer: Steve Parkhouse. Artist: Art Weatherell. Inker: Steve Parkhouse. Colorist: Louise Cassell. Letterer: Annie Halfacree. Editor: Steve White. Death's Head gets hired to steal the Tardis and kill the Doctor! Worlds collide in this sci-fi extravaganza! Death's Head was contacted by Hob, on behalf of Dogbolter, in order to kill the Doctor. Hob himself, apparently the most expensive robot in existence, was to be the payment for the mission. Still holding a grudge against the Doctor after their last encounter, Death's Head readily accepted. Several days later, at Intra-Venus Headquarters, Death's Head was supplied with the Dogbolter Temporal Rocket and began traveling through time to find the Doctor. His first jump took him to the small village of Thetford in 1646, where he appeared in front of one Mrs. Thorogood. Although only there briefly, he was mistaken for the Devil, and Mrs. Thorogood was later sent to the gallows as a result. He also touched down briefly in the Triassic period, leaving behind a pair of footprints that would later baffle geologists. Following that, he found himself in the year 1916, just prior to the first battle of the Somme. Finally he caught up with the Doctor, who was dressed as a court jester in a pantomime at some point during the modern era. Death's Head shot at the Doctor, who jumped aside and activated a trap door underneath the mechanoid. Death's Head fell through the stage, and aimed another shot at the retreating time lord, only succeeding in setting fire to the stage. Death's Head searched backstage, and blundered into the ladies dressing room by mistake. As the fire spread, Death's Head was forced to make an exit and leapt from the burning building. He emerged at the end of a pier, and fell into the water. Death's Head activated the Temporal Rocket again, and managed to materialize inside the Doctor's Tardis. However, the Doctor warned Death's Head that the Dogbolter Temporal Rocket contained a concealed thermo-nuclear device. Death's Head realized he had been set up by Dogbolter. Suddenly, the Tardis was scanned by a powerful beam, which triggered the detonating device. Death's Head told the Doctor to lock onto the source of the beam and take them there. They landed on the roof of the Intra-Venus headquarters in the year 8162. Unable to remove the Dogbolter Temporal Rocket himself, Death's Head got the Doctor to blast the clasps that held it in place. When this failed, the Doctor used an invention of his called the piklok to removed the clasps. Death's Head took the rocket off, ran outside the Tardis and threw it onto the roof. He rushed back inside, and the Doctor took him to safety. Death's Head told the Doctor they were quits, but warned the timelord that next time he might not be so lucky. The Doctor retorted that he would be difficult to kill, and that as Death's Head was a machine being he was incapable of change or evolution. The Doctor got back into his Tardis and departed. Death's Head took in his surroundings and realized he didn't know where he was. Little did he realize he was standing on top of Four's Freedom Plaza, headquarters of the Fantastic Four on Earth-616.
