The Zombies (comic story)

The Zombies was a TV Comic story featuring the Second Doctor, John and Gillian.

Summary
The Doctor's TARDIS malfunctions and only partly materialises so that the Doctor has to affect emergency repairs to complete the landing. Outside, he realises he has arrived in 1969 London where the people have been hypnotised and become human robots. The villains are Zagbors, a humanoid alien race.

Zagbors chase the Doctor back to the TARDIS. They take the TARDIS to their spacecraft and try to cut it open with ray cutters. When the Doctor tries to dematerialise again it malfunctions once more so that he, along with John and Gillian, have to surrender. The Doctor asks to be hypnotised first, before his grandchildren and overcomes the hypnotising beam, thus making the Zagbors his slaves. He reverses the hypnosis on the humans, and repairs the TARDIS.
