Fireball XL5 1 (comic story)

The first of two otherwise untitled Fireball XL5 comics printed in TV Century 21's annual for 1966 contained elements from the Doctor Who universe.

The DWU character of Nikita Bandranaik featured prominently in the narrative, as did the location of Unity City, first introduced in The Daleks comic story Duel of the Daleks. Notably, it was Bandranaik's decision whether or not to use a chain reaction explosion to prevent the planet P7 from colliding with Saturn, with both choices having the potential to end in the destruction of the solar system.
