This story debuted with either the Second or Third Doctor, then was reprinted with the Fourth Doctor. It may have had different companions in the reprint, as well. From an in-universe point of view, it's unclear which Doctor lived through these events.
The Spoilers was a Third Doctor TV Action comic strip story. It was reprinted as a Fourth Doctor comic strip story in the 1977 Doctor Who Winter Special.
During the story's run (in issue #124), the letters column of TV Action gave the name Gallifrey as the home planet of the Master — some six months before television viewers would first hear the name in The Time Warrior.
Summary
The Doctor finds himself caught in the middle of a conflict between the warlike Fars and the peaceful Rafs.
Characters
- Third Doctor (original)
- Fourth Doctor (reprint)
- Soton
- Venin
References
- Despite the title, the story has nothing to do with spoilers, but with those who have spoiled their planet's environment. The term "spoilers", in the first sense, did not come into common use until many years after the story was printed.
