Emergency Landing! (comic story)

Emergency Landing! was a Fireball XL5 comic printed in TV Century 21 in 1965.

As well as mentioning the planet Uraniture, which debuted in the Dalek short story Ice Planet Mystery, the main narrative of Emergency Landing! was foreshadowed by both another Dalek story, Fireball Explosion!, and The Daleks comic story Plague of Death.
