The Day the Earth Was Sold (comic story)

Opening narration box
It seems the Doctor's arrived too late to stop an alien invasion ...

Summary
Above London a Nim Confederacy spacecraft is giving the Humans half an hour to leave their planet. Using his sonic screwdriver to teleport himself aboard, the Doctor learns that the peace-loving Nin believe the Earth is theirs. They bought it from the King of Earth as a new home after theirs was destroyed by solar flares. The Doctor tries to explain there is no King and that they have been conned, when two other fleets of alien ships arrive. Unlike the Nin, the newcomers, the crocodile-like Ssraarl and the ape-like Hoolox, are warlike races, each believing they have legitimately bought the Earth. The Doctor is unable to reason with them and the Hoolox launch a missile attack on the Earth with enough firepower to make it burn.
