Summary Edit

Cyberleader Maxel leads a party to the dead world of Goth in search of a weapon that wiped out an entire civilisation overnight. As they explore the war museum, they are watched by the Apocalypse Device, a synthetic creature carrying every conceivable disease and virus. The Cybermen are wiped out by telepathic nightmares and a lethal rust-like virus. Maxel realises the only reason for his survival is so he can take the Apocalypse Device off the planet. He destroys his ship and himself, leaving the Device trapped on the planet, until a Sontaran craft arrives...

Notes Edit

This is one of five collaborations between writer Alan Moore and illustrator David Lloyd, who would later create the graphic novel V for Vendetta.
This back up strip story was introduced and tailed by the Fourth Doctor as if recounting a story.
The story portrays the Cybermen as un-characteristically human in their thinking and speech patterns.
