City of Devils (comic story)

City of Devils was a comic strip featuring Sarah Jane Smith and K9. The only comic strip based on the premise of K9 and Company, it featured both the Silurians and the Sea Devils in the same story.

Summary
At Aunt Lavinia's request, Sarah Jane Smith and K9 join Dr Warren Martyn and his assistant, Dexter Townsend, on an archaeological dig in Egypt. They have uncovered a hidden city of the Eocenes (identified as such by K9).

Dexter is only after the treasures and is killed, but the Eocenes are seeking peaceful co-existence with the humans. Warren agrees to stay so they may exchange cultures and Sarah is given free passage to return home to negotiate their terms.

Sarah is optimistic after speaking with the Brigadier. UNIT this time round seems more sympathetic.
