The Gaze of the Gorgon (comic story)

The Gaze of the Gorgon was the second of two Doctor Who comic stories in the pages of the TV Comic Holiday Special 1966. As happened elsewhere in the TV Comic Doctor Who comic stories, it established that an Earth mythological being — in this case the Gorgon — was a "real" part of the Doctor Who universe.

Summary
The First Doctor, John and Gillian visit the planet Zeno. They find that its inhabitants have been turned to stone by the Gorgon. Using Gillian's mirror, the Doctor tricks the Gorgon into looking upon herself, transforming her into stone. The few remaining inhabitants of Zeno emerge from their hiding places to thank the Doctor for freeing them from the Gorgon and the time travellers depart to a new adventure.
