Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor #3
Synopsis
A DEVIL HAUNTS THE MIDNIGHT CROSSROADS… AND MUSICIANS ARE
ITS PREY!
There’s a devil out on the bayou, or so they say… Something
stalking bluesmen through the swamps of Mississippi, offering them talent
beyond imagining, worlds at their feet - in exchange for their souls!
When Alice asks the Doctor if they can visit one of her
mother’s musical heroes, she’s initially disappointed. Is Jones, a forgettable
singer whose talent seems to be that of disappearing in a crowded room, really
the colossal talent who brought passion, creativity and meaning to her mother’s
life?
And what does he have to do with the nightmarish deals
taking place in the dead of night…?
Following their escape from the clutches of SERVEYOUinc and the enigmatic Chief Security Officer on Rokhandi, the Doctor and his latest companion, former library assistant Alice Obiefune, continue their travels together. But it seems that the malevolent corporation still have the Time Lord in their sights and will travel through space and time to find him and make him join them.
Stepping back a little we find a bantering Doctor and Alice in the mood for some reminiscing. The Doctor volunteers to take his companion back in time to the first ever gig by John Jones, soon to emerge as the Chameleon of Pop, Xavi Moonburst. To their horror they discover that he is an uncharismatic bore with no discernible talent. Stung by Alice's criticism, Jones follows them into the TARDIS...which is how a future rock god with the ability to be almost invisible ends up helping a librarian and a Delta Blues musician to save the day. Look out too for a starring role from the Third Doctor's iconic car Bessie - but as you've never seen her before!
The story is written by Rob Williams with art by Simon Fraser. The regular cover art is by Verity Glass, but as usual there are multiple special and limited edition covers available, so check with your local comic book store.
