Dr. Who & the "Yeti" (comic story)

 was a comic strip in The Daleks Are Back!. Using photographs taken from Marco Polo, it told a brand new story that functioned as something of a sequel.

Supposedly published in 1964, it was actually a parody of the ‘photocomic’ stories of the era, original to a joke mock-up of the supposed "1 year anniversary issue" of DWM packaged with DWM 467 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. In reality, the magazine did not begin until 1979.

Summary
The TARDIS arrives in the Himalayas in the 13th Century AD. The Doctor comments that they have been here before, blaming this on his ship being "on the blink". Susan suddenly spies a giant’s footprint on the ground. Ian dismisses this, but Susan insists that, unlike last time, this is real. Just then, the TARDIS's flux capacitor explodes, and the Doctor and co. are assailed by soldiers. The Doctor lies that Ian knows "the ancient art of barisu", tricking them into focusing their attention on Ian, then runs off and hides behind a rock. Fortunately, Marco Polo enters and calls them off. He explains that a Yeti is terrorising the region. As if to prove his point, it roars in the distance, and the TARDIS travellers resolve to investigate.
