The Doctor is known for his connections to famous figures from history, and he's about to make a few more. The famous "Rat Pack" will guest star in a brand new story, featuring Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor and his companion, Clara Oswald, beginning in Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor #9, from Titan Comcis.

The new story, "Gangland," sees the Doctor forced to ally himself with gangsters on the 1960s Vegas strip to combat a much more powerful threat. In the process, he and Clara will rub shoulders with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.
