The Monsters from the Past (comic story)

The Monsters from the Past was a TV Comic story starring the Second Doctor, John Who and Gillian Who.

Plot
It is the 1960s and the TARDIS materialises in a museum in New York. The travellers emerge in a room full of artificial, model dinosaurs. The Doctor takes John and Gillian on a tour of the city and while they are away a scientist brings the dinosaurs to life. The Doctor manages to escape from the teeth and claws of the creatures and contacts the army. He tells the artillery where to aim their shells but the dinosaurs seem impregnable and burst out onto the streets. The Doctor makes for the zoo where he discovers the scientist giving drugs to the animals that will make them obey him. The scientist orders a panther to attack the Doctor who drives it off with acid.

The scientist leaves his laboratory lair on a brontosaurus. This allows the Doctor to create an antidote to the Life Drug that the scientist was using. Before he can get the antidote to the army the scientist and his tame dinosaurs attack the Doctor's building. He escapes, however and gets back to John and Gillian at an army shelter. He puts his antidote into syringes which the army loads into catapults. The first three dinosaurs to attack are transformed back to the museum models that they began as but the other one that has the scientist on it attacks the Doctor and knocks him out. Gillian shoots the scientist and the dinosaur becomes a model once more.
