Who's That Girl! was the Doctor Who back-up strip which appeared in the pages of The Incredible Hulk Presents #8-9. Like all in the series, it was monochromatic and featured the Seventh Doctor travelling alone at the beginning and ending of the story.

Aside from a few Second Doctor stories that were set in Season 6b, this story was unusual for being one of the only stories in any medium to depict the Doctor as voluntarily being an agent of the Time Lords. Here he is effectively the Time Lords' representative at a political conference.

Summary

An intergalactic treaty is about to be signed which will give the Frovians free access to the Kollian Dimension. The Doctor arrives in support of one of the signatories, the Frovian Prince Luj. But why is the Doctor now a woman? And just how much can the Doctor trust his royal friend?
