Prisoners of the Eye Leaves (comic story)

Prisoners of the Eye Leaves was a Zero X comic printed in TV Century 21 in 1969.

The location of Unity City, first introduced in The Daleks story Duel of the Daleks, was crucial to the framing narrative which enabled the events of the story to be reported on by TV 21. The planet Astra, first mentioned in The Rescue, was additionally alluded to, thus constituting a crossover with the Doctor Who universe.
